*******************************************************************

SANTA CLARA UNIVERSITY in Santa Clara, California, will host Johan
Galtung for two events (sponsored by the Institute on
Globalization, the Bannan Center and International Programs):

- A public lecture entitled "Globalization for Peace and
Development" on Thursday, May 8, 2003 at 7pm in the Mayer Theater.

- A two-day workshop entitled "Conflict Transformation by Peaceful
Means" on Saturday, May 10, 2003 from 8:30am to 5:30pm, and Sunday,
May 11, 2003 from 8:30am to 12:30pm. Because seating is limited,
please register as soon as possible.

This workshop will provide participants with an introduction to the
TRANSCEND method which is based on 40 years of research and
practice. Conflicts can never really be completely "resolved" or
made to disappear, but they can be transformed from being fought
with violent means to being conducted by peaceful means. In that
sense, conflicts can have a constructive function of helping bring
about desirable change.

The workshop format will be highly interactive, with a combination
of lectures, seminars, and facilitated discussions. Participants
are invited to contribute case studies from their own experience.
Participants will learn:

- to analyze conflicts and design methods of intervention that help
reduce violence

- methods of mapping conflict formations

- principles of dialogue and negotiation as methods of conflict
transformation; the psychology of the dialogue process, and more

The workshop fees are $150 ($60 for students, free for students,
faculty and alumni of SCU).  Scholarships are available for
qualified participants. ALL participants must register!!
