Training Peacemakers For A World of Diversity

Adult Workshop

The Faces In The Crowd™ Workshops are designed to be sensitive to individual needs, non-threatening, yet help individuals increase their awareness of some of their deepest  and least accessible root beliefs and attitudes concerning other people.

The workshops are especially effective for those individuals who are willing to grow and learn more about themselves, their relationships and attitudes.

Youth Workshop

Why have a Faces In The Crowd™ diversity and violence prevention workshop series at your organization?

Because this is one of the most unique and challenging programs dealingGandhi Institute Logo with diversity in the country. Because Faces In The Crowd™ addresses head-on our assumptions and fears, stereotypes and self-doubts, prejudices and socializations. Because Valerie’s conscientious approach affirms the principles of community, dialogue, and nonviolence which are desperately needed in today’s schools and workplace....the lessons taught and skills learned in this workshop are critical for the corporate and community sectors. I urge you to participate in this invaluable program.
