SUMMARY:Webinar Series: Conflict\, Culture and Democracy\, July 19 - October 4
DESCRIPTION:This is the eighth DemoSapiens webinar series that is co-sponsored by Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBBI) and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere (Stanford University). It is led by Ashok Panikkar of MetaCulture. \nIt is a 12-part Conflict\, Culture & Democracy Course. It will be held weekly on Mondays at 6:00 PM ET (-4 UTC). Each session will be 90 minutes long. The first session is scheduled for Monday\, July 19\, 2021\, at 10:00 AM EST and the twelfth session is scheduled for Monday\, October 4\, 2021.  \nThis course is designed to help participants place the current global crisis of democracy within the larger (and complex) context. Navigating this unprecedented political\, ecological\, economic\, and cultural crisis will depend upon our capacity to understand: (a) How we got here. (b) The interlocking forces that are in play today (c) What history can teach us about human successes and limitations in addressing complex problems. \nEach session will seek to develop a discourse around democracy\, politics\, and culture that can be well-informed\, thoughtful\, and mature- rather than reactive\, angry\, wistful\, or riddled with assumptions. \nPlease note that the pricing for the Demo Sapiens Webinar Series is different than MBBI’s monthly webinars. Participants are paying for a 12-part series co-sponsored by MBBI\, Meta-Culture\, and the Millennium Alliance of Humanity and the Biosphere. \nRegister here for the Webinar Series starting on Monday\, July 19\, 2021\, at 10:00 AM ET
