Educating for the 21st Century: Another Successful U Peace Short Workshop

We had fun on Tuesday playing through the DPS model to look at some important issues. The 10 participants, wonderful people from all over the globe were in Costa Rica to take a course with the wonderful Mohit Mukhergee and his Center at U Peace. Thank you to Mohit for inviting me again.
The group worked on some very interesting issues, such as overpopulation, trust, greed, and addiction. We looked at trust in a forum and images of victimization and overpopulation all revealed new, sometimes surprising ways of thinking about these things. As always, the physical nature and the spontaneity of the play made people react in ways they maybe hadn't thought about.
One participant shared that he could use this work to apply to relations in his life that were in conflict.
Good to know that in these short, 3 hour sessions we can work together to build skills and open paths to conflict transformation on a personal and societal level.
Thanks to everyone for their active and engaged participation.
