Mediators Beyond Borders will be having its Annual Congress at UCLA from March 4th – 6th.  The keynote speakers are Lawrence Susskind (one of my personal favorites) and Ashok Pannikar.  Go here for registration and to find out more about the Congress.

Here’s a short blurb explaining who MBB is.

Mediators Beyond Borders – Partnering for Peace & Reconciliation is a non-profit, humanitarian organization established to partner with communities worldwide to build their conflict resolution capacity for preventing, resolving and healing from conflict. This partnership involves the design and implementation of sustainable peace building initiatives responsive to the needs and culture of the communities, and to the history of each conflict. MBB is not a first responder, and is not prepared to intervene in the midst of violent crises.
