For Youth

Confronting Concerns

Confronting Concerns program of the Network for Peace through Dialogue works with  youth in Harlem helping them to identify what their concerns are for themselves and their world and to understand their causes and to seek solutions for them.  Inspiring leadership among youth, the Confronting Concerns project in 2008 initiated a program titled the Leadership Institute.  This Institute focuses on training selected teen youth leaders in facilitation and workshop development and helps them move into roles as workshop facilitators for other youth.

For Communities

Living Room Dialogues

“The beauty of a Living Room Dialogue is that important shifts happen when you least expect it.”   That’s what a participant said about her experience at a Network for Peace-organized Living Room Dialogue on migration.  The concept is deceptively simple: ordinary people gather in a room (often a living room) to share experiences or thoughts around an issue.  The evening is facilitated by a Network staff member and at times a special guest may contribute to the evening.   This dialogue format, developed by the Network, is designed to be inclusive and accessible to people with a variety of education levels.  It addresses the issues people face in their community and is based on the lived experience of those participating in the learning.   The goal of a Living Room Dialogue is to expand the participants’ understanding about a particular issue.
