The annual \u201cFrontiers in Peacebuilding\u201d luncheon series in conjunction with Summer Peacebuilding Institute<\/a> at Eastern Mennonite University has slightly changed its format. Two lunches have become dinners. The four events, however, still honor the conviviality of the shared meal with the opportunity to learn from experts.<\/p>\n

The meals, held in the EMU dining hall, are open to the public (see below for ticket information).<\/p>\n

The Summer Peacebuilding Institute, known as SPI, is hosted by the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding<\/a>. It has brought 2,900 people from 123 countries to EMU\u2019s campus.<\/p>\n

Participants come from training in two 7-day sessions (May 9-17 and May 19-27) and two 5-day sessions (May 30-June 3 and June 6-10). Tracks this year<\/a> include trauma awareness and resilience, restorative justice, community action and organizing, the peacebuilding arts, and executive leadership for organizations focused on social change. The fourth session highlights skills-based courses, such as narrative practices, playback theater, photography for community empowerment, and blended arts and bodywork for resilience.<\/p>\n
