SUMMARY:EduCCate - Schools Developing a Cross Curricular Climate Change Curriculum
DESCRIPTION:Engage in the discussion of the importance of climate change curriculum in schools and the work of EduCCate Global. This 90-minute conversation event will be on Wednesday\, May 12th\, 2021 at 12pm EDT (-4 UTC). Please use the Time Zone Converter to determine when this engaging conversation will be in your time zone. \nFor more information on the Climate Change Policy Project\, please see here. \nIf you are interested in engaging with this team\, join as a member here \nRegister here! \nSpeaker Bio\nMelanie Harwood:\n \nMelanie Harwood is an Education Specialist and a Philanthropist who is passionate about developing innovative education packages to close the attainment gap and aims to deliver not only the deeper cognitive thinkers but the sustainability leaders that our countries now need to achieve Carbon Neutral. \nThe 2019\, eduCCate Global Certified Climate Change Teacher Training is just one example of how and what she creates and curates in order to empower schools to develop a cross-curricular climate curriculum. Putting these intentions into action\, after the launch\, at COP 24 in Katowice Poland 2018\, of her concept to deliver the eduCCate Global Climate Change Teacher Course to all schoolteachers\, Melanie personally funded more than 329\,000 educators\, in 43 Countries. These educators were the very first eduCCate Global Certified Climate Change Teachers\, in the World!   \nShe personally sponsored several schools to participate in and complete the eduCCate Global Bronze and Silver Awards\, in both the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates.  \nMelanie funded two Headteachers and team members to attend COP 25 Madrid in 2019.  \nMelanie Harwood delivered initiatives with the United Nations (UNITAR) and Hammersmith & Fulham Borough Council when the United Kingdom entered its first Covid 19 Lockdown and created both the Recovery Curriculum Virtual Summit as well as the Sustainable Schools Virtual Summit\, which were made available to all school leaders. \nMelanie recently sponsored a group of teachers to take part in the launch delivery of the eduCCate Global Certified Carbon Literacy Specialist Teacher Training and she hopes that this will pave the way for the very first eduCCate Global Gold Award School in the Middle East to lead all schools in the region.  She says\, “We must all take note of those schools that are genuine leaders in Sustainability and Carbon Literacy\, as they will be the change-makers in education throughout the world”.

SUMMARY:Body\, Mind and Soul: Integrating Religion and Secular Evidence-based Praxis to Heal Divide\, Overcome Hate and Address Domestic Radicalization
DESCRIPTION:Since the storming of the United States Capitol on January 6\, 2021\, a growing chorus of pundits\, politicians\, officials\, and experts have framed the rioters and the general threat posed by right-wing radicalization through a lens reminiscent of the tone and terms customary to the war on jihadist extremism. An example of this lies is the way a lot of post-Capitol Riot rhetoric suggested a clear pathway linking Christian Evangelicalism to right-wing radicalization. While there is merit inexploring how and in what ways modern American evangelicalism may intersect with an individual or group’s radicalization\, we must not replicate similar mistakes made in efforts to advance preventing and countering violent extremism initiatives when the focus was Jihadist extremism. The United States is a deeply religious country\, but apart from toxic polarization falling on political\, social and economic fault lines\, we are so too divided with regard to the way we perceive religion and spirituality. A trauma-informed approach can help integrate religious and secular approaches in a way that reduces radicalization and heals the divides that rest at the root of the conflict \nWith:\nJesse Morton\, former jihadist propagandist and now executive director of Parallel Networks\nKerry Noble\, former Christian White Identarian\, ordained minister and Parallel Networks interventionist\nDaryl Paul Lobban\, Director of Strategic Partnerships\, One America Movement \nMike Niconchuk\, works on neuroscience and peacebuilding at Beyond Conflict\nPanel moderated by Elizabeth Hume\, CEO of the Alliance for Peacebuilding  \nRegister to attend:\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJYsfu6rqzItGN2BfPGDMWX0vpu6HW1MsNYZ

SUMMARY:Good vs. Toxic Polarization: Insights from Activists and Peacebuilders
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Horizons Project\, an initiative of PartnersGlobal Institute and Humanity United committed to strengthening practical dialogue between the social justice\, peacebuilding\, and democracy communities in the US\, we are examining ways to address the deep polarization that threatens the foundations of our democracy. On the one hand\, polarizing narratives are a key tool of nonviolent mobilization and social justice activism; on the other hand\, toxic polarization\, where the other side is seen as an irreconcilable enemy\, can undermine the legitimacy of democratic norms and institutions and increase the likelihood of political violence. Which aspects of polarization are good and normal\, and when does polarization tip over into dangerous toxicity? We will hear from scholars\, activists and peacebuilders.    \nWith:\nDr. Peter Coleman\, professor of psychology and education at Columbia University\, executive director of Advanced Consortium on Cooperation\, Conflict and Complexity\, and renowned expert on conflict resolution.\nTabitha Moore\, Vermont racial justice advocate\, licensed therapist\, law enforcement official\, and child welfare expert; works at the intersection of individual and community identity development and systemic oppression. \nDr. Maria J. Stephan\, Senior Advisor\, Horizons Project\, and TRUST Network Consulting Partner \nRegister to attend:\nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJModumqrjgoHdd-T2NM60bYEWWoGvUGp46M

SUMMARY:The Role of Women in Natural Resource Mediation Processes In Indonesia

This hour-long conversation event will be on Wednesday\, March 31st\, 2021 at 5 am EST (-4 UTC) / 4 pm Jakarta Time (+7 UTC). Please use the Time Zone Converter to determine when this engaging conversation will be in your time zone. \nRegister here!\nSpeaker Bio: Raihal Fajri\n \nRaihal is the executive director of the Katahati Institute that focuses on good governance and democracy. In 2015\, Raihal attended MBBI’s International Peace Training Institute (IPTI) in Jakarta\, Indonesia and has been an engaged MBBI member ever since. Since 2014\, the Katahati Institute has been established as a civil society knowledge center in Aceh\, Indoneisa\, focusing on best practices for civil society. This has led her to build trust with several key persons in government offices and agencies in Aceh. She has uncovered other challenges\, including land use conflict\, which is a big problem throughout the country\, including logging of UNESCO protected areas. She has also written a book with the title Share for Change\, the initiative of Aceh’s civil society\, on how in 2000\, 437 women from 20 districts came to Aceh to talk about how to enforce peace in Aceh. This was important as it was the first collection of information regarding peace processes\, encoded not only by men but also by women in Indonesia.
