Applying Neuroscience of Group Dynamics to Reconciliation and Peacebuilding

Join us on May 19th for a conversation with neuroscience researchers and peacebuilding practitioners to understand how brain processes can bring a deeper understanding to peace and reconciliation efforts. This event will delve into the role of threat and empathy in understanding some of the breakdowns between individuals and communities. Panelists will highlight how these discoveries in neuroscience are informing those engaged in peace and reconciliation work. We hope to see you there!
