Once
we get students excited about mediation and peace work, how do we get them to
think about a future in the field? Career education in being introduced with
younger and younger students today, yet we don’t always present them with
practical pathways that they could take to incorporate mediation, conflict
resolution, and peacebuilding skills in their future work.
David J. Smith is a
career coach and the president of the Forage Center for Peacebuilding and
Humanitarian Education. He teaches at the School for Conflict Analysis and
Resolution at George Mason University and was a U.S. Fulbright Scholar
teaching ADR and peace studies. He is a recipient of the William Kreidler
Award for Distinguished Service to the Field of Conflict Resolution, and the
author of Peace Jobs: A Student’s Guide to Starting a Career Working for
Peace (IAP 2016).
In this webinar, he will share strategies for engaging young people in considering their professional and educational futures where their mediation and conflict resolution skills can be applied. Join Us! Visit www.davidjsmithconsulting.com to learn more about David’s work.
