Vernon Smith Hall, 5th Floor, Room 5183

Carter School Fall 2023 Peace Week

Fall 2023 Peace Week! Fall 2023 Peace Week will be held September 18th through September 22nd. The Carter School Fall 2023 Peace Week titled Building Peace in Partnership.

Presented by: Transitioning Justice LabThis networking event and reception highlights contributions of Carter School community partners and alumni to building and sustaining community-focused restorative approaches. Restorative justice and restorative practices are gaining attention as key elements of preventing destructive conflict, reducing oppressive and discriminatory responses to harm, promoting healing for people who have experienced harm, and fostering empathy, accountability, and transparency in our interactions with one another. How are these aims furthered through partnerships (e.g., with non-profits, universities)? This session begins with a recognition of Restorative Arlington, Carter School’s newest partner in this area, followed by brief presentations by partner organizations and alumni on best practices, key opportunities, and current challenges in community-based restorative work, with emphasis on partnerships. Attendees will then be invited to participate in small group discussions of questions emerging from the topics presented. To alumni, students, faculty, community members, and cherished partners: come celebrate the accomplishments of our partners and alumni and offer your thoughts on next directions for restorative initiatives at Carter School.Informal remarks by: Kimiko Lighty, Restorative Arlington, Executive DirectorNVMS Representatives Patricia Maulden, Professor, Carter School Susan Hirsch, Vernon M. and Minnie I.
