You are cordially invited to the Peace and Conflict Resolution Conference to be held in Northfield, Minnesota in October 2021. With the world in a constant state of turmoil, opportunities to meet with others to promote mutual understanding and peace have become increasingly rare. Yogi Reppmann and Tony Conn are organizing an international Rotary work conference on the subject of “Dealing with the Past, - VERGANGENHEITSBEWAELTIGUNG” which will take place as a hybrid event (attendance/video) in October 2021 in Northfield, Minnesota (forty miles south of Minneapolis). The discussion points at the conference will concern how to find appropriate ways of dealing with the dark chapters of history. Four hundred years of slavery in the New World will be discussed, as well as Germany's confrontation with the Holocaust. At our conference set in idyllic Northfield, Minnesota you will be able to experience all of the amenities of small-town America including two prestigious colleges, a vibrant downtown, and all that you might need within walking distance. We hope very much to see you at the Peace and Conflict Resolution Conference in Northfield, MN, on October 19-22, 2021!

Comments


The question that confronts us today is the same as in 1931-32: Do our leaders have the capacity to reach beyond their grasp, to challenge us to seek the higher angels of nature, to choose "Be informed! Be informed!" rather than "Be afraid! Be afraid!" In the end, however, we know that world peace is too important to be left in the hands of our leaders. Peace starts in our own back yards when we speak our for understanding when their is disharmony, food security where there is hunger, health care where there is disease, education where there is illiteracy, conservation where there is environmental harm, sustainable development where there is poverty ... and when we write letters across border to build goodwill and better friendships. - William Tubbs (2019)
