Ludicrous Peacemaking
February 05, 2014
Imagine enemy insurgents playing together. Playing. Play changes everything, making possible risky moves towards peace and reconciliation, from the battle line to the assembly line, the board room to the classroom, the kitchen to the commons.
Come, share and learn with Lee McKenna, a Toronto-based activist and trainer, working for 25 years with communities around the world to discern and discover novel ways of building peace - that run from interior self-awareness/consciousness to socio-political-economic analysis, planning campaigns and carrying out non-violent direct actions for change using theatre, music and humour. Lee's methods are popular, elicitive, experiential, committed to a 'midwifery' approach to being and learning with people of diverse cultures and stories. Work in economic literacy training, human rights and health policy preceded nine years of work with the Association of Ontario Health Centres where Lee played a lead role in the expansion of the CHC model and the envisioning and implementation of the community-governed model of Family Health Teams. She continues to consult with health care organisations doing training, planning, mediation, conflict transformation and team-building, as well as schools in designing and implementing holistic programmes in anti-bullying.
