The first in this series was held on April 25 to a full house and focused on human rights in Burundi and among the Roma people. Audience members were able to engage in lively and informative discussions with our speakers, and several commented that it was one of the best opportunities available in the area to learn about other cultures.One attendee commented on how much he “appreciated the opportunity to learn firsthand what other countries experience.” |

We recognize the effects of globalization have made these issues relevant at the international level and that dialogue is essential to further the cause of peace and justice in an increasingly interconnected world.
Talks are held 5pm in the JRPC Conference Room, 519 S. Higgins in Missoula. Following this event, there will be two more talks in the series, June 27 on Agriculture, Natural Resources and Climate Change, and the last talk is tentatively set for July 11th, and will cover Public Policy.
