June 2010: 5 Guyanese social workers visit Cambridge

As part of its 2010 programming, MCF has invited 5 Guyanese social workers selected by the Ministry of Human Services and by Help & Shelter to participate in Lesley University’s Peaceable Schools & Communities Institute in Cambridge for 5 days in June. The Institute includes strategies to resolve conflicts and build peace. Director of the Peaceable Schools & Communities, Dr. Linda Brion-Miesels, will address the Guyanese group and their specific issues during their visit to Lesley. Additionally, the group will meet with faculty who teach integrated arts and expressive therapy to learn how the arts can contribute to learning and healing.
