We’re so thankful to all organizers, sponsors, presenters, and old/new friends who made this 2-day #peaceEducation #teachertraining event so meaningful. 🙏🌟💐After developing curricula and teaching peace (and more ; ) for decades now, I 💗facilitating the closing session where we elicited all voices and explored how Filipino and local culture, histories, perspectives might creatively spark the process of creating new #peacecurricula. 🎶🌍 Looking forward to more! 🥰💗💕🐰 From the event page:

“This Training of Teachers, led by ACP3FI in cooperation with Silliman University (SU) through the Office of Strategic Partnerships is part of the efforts to respond to the CHED Memorandum No. 1, s. 2019, “Integration of Peace Studies into the relevant Higher Education Curricula.” The project is supported by the GOJUST Human Rights Project, a joint endeavour of the European Union (EU) and the Spanish Government through the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and the Commission on Human Rights. “

“I always felt that the greatest gratification of all is if some young person sees something that I worked on and decides that they want to write a novel or make a film…That really is the greatest consequence of all. It means you have become immortal.”

Love conversations with strong women (especially at @alimacafeofficial) ! Meeting #CeciliaHofmann, founder of https://www.facebook.com/gwave.dgte #GWAVE = Gender Watch Against Violence & Exploitation, we all spoke of histories of - and the need to dismantle - #whitesupremacy, #patriarchy, empire building. Most critical now is work so the planet might survive. ✊🏾🌍💫 Personally, I find - and work to stand with - powerful youth organizers/activists. 💗💕🐰Special thanks to Tet for organizing this lunch meeting and our next... ! 🙏💐 (at Alima Cafe Dumaguete) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3MBfLHAiNC/?igshid=zu5qla45yaq1
