Our convening theme of Place, Connection, Reflection is an invitation to consider how we -- and our grantees -- engage with the communities we care about.
This event is an opportunity to:
meet your colleagues,
share programmatic ideas and insights,
find inspiration for your Projects for Peace program, and
explore the intersection of youth peacebuilding and conflict transformation.
Rooms have been reserved at the Hotel Pacific, a short walk from M.I.I.S.
