MORNING · 1 1 AM – 1 PM

Nonviolent Journalism
with David Andersson Editor, Pressenza International Press Agency

Much of today’s media echoes the language and assumptions of the system that produces war, poverty and division—but journalism can also humanize. This workshop explores what nonviolent journalism is and how Pressenza is putting it into practice through its book and free training course, helping communicators reveal hidden violence, avoid dehumanizing language and give space to people building change.

Understanding the Roots of Violence
with Dennis Redmond, NY Director, The Community for Human Development

Violence takes many forms—physical, economic, racial, religious, psychological—and each has its origin in how we experience ourselves and others. This workshop examines where violence begins, personally and socially, and the tools that help us move beyond it.
