National Conference on Peacemaking and Conflict Resolution

Plans are underway for the Eighth National Conference on Peacemaking and Conflict Resolution (NCPCR) to be held May 23-27, 1997, at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The conference will bring together more than 1,200 practitioners, teachers, researchers, program administrators, policy-makers, and students for five days of workshops, seminars, and meetings of organizations and interest groups.

Special features of the 1997 conference will be a Youth Conference, Friday, May 23, organized for young people by local youth, and Social Justice Day on Saturday, May 24, a day designed to provide opportunities for deep transformation and healing work around race relations. Other conference sessions will focus on the application of Conflict Resolution research, theory, and practice to a wide variety of interpersonal, intergroup, and international disputes.

Preliminary conference programs and registration materials will be mailed in January. For more information, contact Linda Baron by phone at (703) 993-2440; by e-mail at [email protected]; or by completing and returning the form to NCPCR.
