The current state of affairs across the globe serves as a poignant reminder about the urgency — emergency — of sowing seeds of dignity! This workshop presents a rare opportunity for us to come together and reflect on two decades of courageous collaboration while energizing our shared efforts to keep moving forward!


We are eager to hear your insights on how you have sustained courage and nurtured hope and dignity amid adversity. What keeps you going? What obstacles have you faced? What has worked well or adds to your courage?


Whether you join us in person, join us on Zoom, or you are with us in spirit, your kind support is invaluable. We hope to welcome you to join us for meaningful discussions that will contribute to our collective pursuit of a more dignified world.

We are deeply saddened by the recent passing of Betty Reardon, an internationally renowned peace educator and co-founder of the Global Campaign for Peace Education (GCPE).


Betty mentored and inspired generations of educators, scholars, and activists. Her presence at our annual workshop in New York City in 2018 was truly an honor. She joined us as we gathered to celebrate her protégé Janet Gerson, who was the recipient of the HumanDHS Lifetime Commitment Award. Betty Reardon will always be an inspiration to our entire dignity community!
