FOR newsletter about the first MPP.
Ben Grosscup, who participated in the 1999 Minnesota Peace maker project, had this to say about the experience.
I was part of the 1999 Minnesota
Peacemaker project. What I remember as
the best part of the experience
was learning to be a better listener.
It's incredible how in any social
setting certain people (often times white males,
like myself) dominate conversations,
thereby excluding the voices of others.
I hope that this year's Minnesota
Peacmaker Project will take palce in an
environment where this type of
community and individual development can grow.
There is so much to learn from
all the people around you. All you need is a
safe space for expression and a
willingness to share and receive in balance.
Good luck to all who are participating
in the Minnesota Peacemaker Project!
