SUMMARY:Conflict & Poetry: An Interactive Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Conflict & Poetry: An Interactive Workshop\nSunday\, March 30th at 2PM EST\nLive at The Rotunda\, 4014 Walnut St.\, Philadelphia\, PA 19104 \nRegister for the live event \n\n\n\nIn a time fraught with political strife and armed conflict\, how can we reframe\, heal\, and continue to live in the midst of destruction\, chaos\, and loss? We seem to have forgotten that we are all human beings. Where is our empathy? How do we reconcile? How do we survive? In an effort to inspire people embroiled in conflict (all of us)\, to meet and create dialogue across differences for the sake of resolving heartbreak\, damage and personal or cultural loss. \nAustralian authors\, David B. Moore and Alike Vernon\, writers of Setting Relations Right in Restorative Practice\, have provided the backgrounds and the methods for humane ways to make peace. They will share knowledge on the possibilities occasioned by people seeking repair and resolution. \n\n\n\n\nRestorative practice uses deliberative decision-making processes to: \n\nrespond to harm with healing in justice system programs;\nmanage relationships in educational\, workplace\, and other communities; &\nlink individual healing with institutional reform in redress schemes.\n\nDr David Moore and Dr Alikki Vernon are Australian ‘pracademics’\, who remain actively engaged with fellow educators and researchers while working as facilitators in each of these applications. \nIn their 2024 book Setting Relations Right in Restorative Practice\, they explain how: \n\nrestorative processes support people to learn\, heal\, and work together to improve their circumstances;\ntechniques from restorative practice can also assist citizens’ assemblies to develop socially acceptable and appropriately complex policies for government.\n\nThe reforming potential of restorative practice is great. The need for further restorative reform urgent. Practical skills are essential for that reform. \nDr Moore and Dr Vernon will describe: \n\ncore skills for facilitating different restorative processes;\nprograms that apply these skills\, to work with people to set relations right.\n\nThe audience and poets will participate with Moore and Vernon to consider pathways out of the impasses that inhibit our creativity as humans. \n\n\nRegister for the interactive workshop.\n\n\nSubmit to our Chaos/Crises/Conflict anthology here by March 9th.

SUMMARY:World Poetry Day Reading
DESCRIPTION:Sunday March 23\, 2025 – 2pmEST – VIRTUAL \nhttps://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/LqG9LovqQnCdUxVCaQ1PHg3/26/2025 \nWorld Poetry Day Reading – The United Nations Educational\, Scientific\, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) founded this day in 1999. Poetry uses rhythms and imagery to elicit emotion and the imagination of the reader. Poetry can rhyme\, using what are called meters of long and short syllables. Some poetry\, written in what’s called ‘free verse\,’ doesn’t employ rhyme or meters. Poems are broken into stanzas\, which are like paragraphs\, and can be up to 12 lines long. We believe the first known poem appeared 4\,000 years ago in Babylon. Today\, countless types of poems are available to enjoy\, including haikus\, limericks\, sonnets\, and ballads.
