Conflict, Change and Reconciliation
Learning from the Frontline - July 4-6, 2012.
Teachers: Patrick Magee, Jo Berry & Andrew Woodward
Many people today feel their voices are not heard and that they are
powerless to affect what goes on around them. This sense of
powerlessness can lead to apathy or explode into violence: frustrated
people blame others for their lack of power, and see themselves as
victims of circumstance. It is a phenomenon that we are witnessing all
around the world, from shanty towns and war-torn states to inner city
housing estates terrorised by gangs, and it is one of the most
difficult problems facing society today.
This
course is open for bookings.
Evening Talk at Studio 1, Conflict, Change and Reconciliation:, Learning from the Frontline, An Evening with Patrick Magee, Jo Berry & Andrew Woodward, Wednesday 4 July 7.30pm, Studio 1, Dartington Space. Click Here for more details.
