Take a Course with a Member of South Africa’s TRC at the new Canadian School of Peacebuilding

Each summer at least one courses will relate to restorative justice.
This year in 2009 take a course with a member of the South African
Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Piet Meiring. Piet Meiring has
many similarities as Desmond Tutu. I recently had a student spend 4
months in South Africa meeting peace and justice folks. He returned and
said that Piet Meiring was the most inspirational person he heard. It
is a treat for us to have him come to Canada to teach the class,
Truthtelling and Peace: An Insider’s Perspective on the South Africa’s
Truth and Reconciliation Commission (July 6-10, 2009).

In the summer 2010 take a course with Howard Zehr, a pioneer and
“grandfather” of the restorative justice movement (June 29-July 2,
2010).

Consider three things you can do to help shape this school:

1. APPLY for a course now. It only 2 months until the School starts.
Apply online (<http://www.cmu.ca/csop/cost.html>) or download our
brochure and application on our website (<http://www.cmu.ca/csop/files/ac10_csopbooklet.email.pdf>).

2. Forward this message to anyone you think may be interested – we want
to equip the international restorative justice movement. Please help
email this around the world.

3. Invite Restorative justice organizations to explore with us how they
can be no-cost sponsors of this school. We want to help build the
networks of the restorative justice movement. Contact us to see how you
can be a no-cost sponsor (contact Valerie Smith vsmith@cmu.ca

Program Facilitator).
