Through his work with Cities4Peace, Mandar leads action-oriented workshops with communities that have experienced profound trauma and empower them to turn their trauma into positive social change using the same nonviolence principles that were used by Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In this session, Mandar will facilitate a guided mediation and welcome a dialogue with participants that will shed light on his work and how to incorporate best practices for fostering non-violence and peace in your daily life and community.
