Explore poetry's impact on the conflict resolution process with poet Pádraig Ó Tuama - please note this is a virtual event via Zoom.
About this Event

One of the fundamental points in conflict resolution is the belief (or lack of belief) in change: am I willing to change? Do I believe the other is willing — or capable — of change? What will change bring about? Isn’t change inevitable anyway? The psychology of change is often deeply embedded in us, built on our own anthropology, our own experience, history, and hope.

In this virtual seminar (via Zoom), Pádraig Ó Tuama will, together with Professor Peter Coleman, explore dynamics of change and conflict through poetry.

Note: Zoom link will be shared with registered participants 2 days prior to the event.
