[Dialogue] Join in Virtually Oct 29-Nov 2nd to the ICA 8th Global Conference on Human Development,

[Wanda Holcombe]

Dear Peace Building Colleagues,
You may have received emails from me in September & October to join in the Virtual Dialogues offered by the Peace Building & Good Governance Theme by Christina Bache Fidan from Istanbul on Peace in the Middle East and Tom Porter of JustPeace on Conflict Resolution & Healing Methods.

Now you can join in the conference as it is being held from 29th Oct-2nd Nov.  Each day there will be posting and even some live streaming taking place.  Check in when convenient with your time and I hope some of that checking in will be on the Peace Building & Good Governance Theme.  I was invited to help lead the team when my colleague in Japan, Wayne Ellsworth was not able to attend due to health. 

Virtual Dialogues and Live Streaming are a "learning process" for us globally and I hope if you tried in the past to join us that you will continue to help and learn with us how we build a vision globally to be lived locally......  Links are below to help you jump into the reality of global conferencing!

Hope to see you in Katmandu....via the internet "ethos"....  I will be back in Austin by Nov. 10th....

Peace, Wanda Holcombe
