Global Peace Week
Monday's Schedule
Morning Meditation
Katie DeAscanis
Begin your day by centering your heart and mind in a short mindfulness practice to
cultivate receptivity and openness. From this stance we can listen to ourselves and
others to develop a language that centers on restoration and healing.

Venue: Virtual
Better Connection = Conflict Transformation

We often face confrontation and conflict in our work and lives. But did you know that
conflict and confrontation, if framed and supported properly, can enhance our experiences

and fun session.

Be the One to Step In
Trisha Whitmire
You know when something's not right. When someone's in trouble - or about to be. You
can be the one to help. Say something. Cause a distraction. Be the one to step into
a situation to help someone out of it.

Queer Students' of Color Sense of Inclusion in Community Colleges

Student's of color (QSOC)? This session will illustrate strategies that can help community
college faculty, staff, and administrators create inclusive environments for their
QSOC.

Global Peace Film Festival Film Screening: American River
AMERICAN RIVER is a highly-cinematic feature documentary about a four-day kayak trip
down one of the most beautiful and neglected waterways in the United States. The film
centers on writer Mary Bruno, who spent her childhood along a degraded stretch of
the Passaic River and returns decades later to tell its story. Guided by ecologist
Carl Alderson, Ms. Bruno travels from the Passaic’s pristine headwaters in a wildlife
refuge to its toxic mouth in Newark Bay. Together, they navigate the river’s many
challenges and explore its history and geology as they head towards the industrial
disaster that poisoned the Passaic for the past 60 years. Along the way, the filmmaker
engages residents, historians and advocates in candid conversations that reveal Passaic's
story: How did this river become one of the most contaminated in America? Can it be
saved? The Passaic is an archetype for thousands of rivers across America facing similar
reckonings.
Time: 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.
