Wednesday, December 5, 2012 – 12:15 pm – 1:45 pm
Room G2, The Heller School
Join Ned Lazarus, School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution at George Mason University, as he explores whether it’s possible to successfully educate youth for peace when they live in a reality of intractable conflict? He presents his findings and reflections from fifteen years of dialogue and peace education practice, evaluation and research in the Middle East. Dr. Lazarus’s dissertation is a long-term impact study of the Seeds of Peace program, inspired by eight years’ work as the organization’s Program Director in Jerusalem.
