CRDC’s Managing Director Scott Cooper will be on hand to introduce you to how you can participate in CRDC’s work of developing a social network of positive cultural peacebuilding in and between the countries of the region and the United States, especially through training, curricular development, virtual social network building, and the encouragement of peace partners and citizen diplomats.
