Herald-Tribune dialogue on: Rethinking Education, Restoring Justice and Respecting Environment
From Herald-Tribune:
SCOPE is partnering with the Peace Education and Action
Center and the Herald-Tribune to start a dialogue on: Rethinking Education, Restoring Justice and Respecting Environment. The Herald-Tribune is publishing guest editorials on the three areas and they are being cross-posted online at scopeblog.org.
On April 9 and 10, the Peace Education and Action Center will host its second annual Teach Peace Conference with the same three focus areas. We hope the dialogue that begins through these multiple channels and the actions that result will bring about positive changes for our community.
