Ripples At Our Peace Conference!Posted by Fran Faraz on Jun 11, 2015

We had our annual Peace Conference back in April, and it was amazing! Not just because students showed up in record numbers this year, but more because the shift I experienced during our 6-week Laddership Circle, changed the way I approached the spirit of the conference this time.
One thing I was sure, was that I wanted to have the spirit of giftivism alive. We decided to gift the students to attend the conference at no charge, despite the resistance from many who believed students will not have value if they don't pay and most importantly will not show up if there is no monetary obligation. They also were worried where would the funding come from? How can we afford this event?
The amount of contribution and collaboration was unprecedented.




Here's an album of photos from the day!

It was really awesome. I felt really good to put into practice something that we all learned during those 6 weeks and so passionately shared. Thank you for so powerfully share your experiences. You made all of us to be inspired to start from our corner of the world and start a ripple effect.
