The JHC Peacebuilders

The JHC Peacebuilders is an Edmonton-based leadership program for youth between the ages of 18-30. To build an Edmonton that is peaceful and compassionate, we must make a shift from tolerating our community’s immense diversity to truly understanding, appreciating and celebrating it. Join us in building compassionate communities by applying to become a John Humphrey Centre Peacebuilder.

As a Peacebuilder you will:

explore, and gain a greater appreciation for, Edmonton’s faith diversity by visiting several faith centres

engage in critical discussion on interfaith peace, diversity and human rights during five dialogue sessions

receive facilitator training to implement community dialogues on interfaith peace, diversity and human rights

become a Youth Storyteller, capturing the digital stories of elders from Edmonton’s various faith communities

play an integral role in the #YEGDialogues Action Forum taking place December 2014 in conjunction with the John Humphrey Centre’s annual Gall Conference & Human Rights Awards

attend faith centre visits and dialogues on Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00pm (January 21st-April 8th)

For more information, or to receive an application form, please contact Tatiana at tatiana@jhcentre.org or 780.453.2638. There is a registration fee of $50.
