Identity & Conflict: How Our Identities Shape Our Experiences and Affect Us in Conflict

How are our identities related to dignity and inherent worth? How are violations of dignity at the root of conflict? And how can identities be weaponized by leaders to create divisions and conflict?

In this interactive workshop, held on the International Day of Peace, we’ll explore the complex interplay between our identities and the conflicts we face. With the U.S. election on the horizon, grappling with how our identities shape political discourse and "identity politics" has never been more important.

This workshop is designed to foster a safe and open environment for honest reflection and exchange of experiences to dive deep into experiences of safety, harm, threat, and community. Together, we will uncover insights into how our identities influence our perceptions and actions, and how recognizing and affirming our own dignity and that of others can pave the way for healthy relationships, transformative dialogue, and even constructive political discourse.

Because this workshop will feature frequent sharing from participants, it will not be recorded. It is only available as a live event.
