Enhancing the vision for peacebuilding and reconciliation at UFV and in the community

The first of its kind in British Columbia, the Peace and Reconciliation Centre (PARC) is linked to many academic programs including, Peace and Conflict Studies, Indigenous Studies, History, Global Development Studies, Criminology, and Social Work, in ways that support the Centre’s outreach and educational goals. The dominant approach of the Centre to date has been to collaborate with stakeholders and to conduct research to facilitate constructive dialogue that supports conflict transformation and reconciliation.

The scale of conflict ranges from the nation state to individuals and across a vast breadth of collision sources including but not limited to domestic violence, access to resources, territory, ethnicity, faith, and colonialism. Research and engagement activities that focus on peace and reconciliation are supported, regardless of geographic, social, or temporal context.

Upcoming events

Description

Peace Talk: With them - A Ukraine documentary

WHEN: Wednesday, March 13
TIME: 11:00am - 12:45pm
LOCATION: B101, Abbotsford campus

We invite you to join us for a 60-minute screening followed by conversation with Chad Martz, Operation Advisor with Hungry for Life and lifelong Chilliwack resident. With many humanitarian trips back and forth to Ukraine, Chad, his family, and the HFL team, have been able to provide temporary housing to those fleeing the country, emergency food to war-torn areas, and have drilled two wells in two areas affected by the devastation.

The film follows the journey of war response over the last two years, based on a 20 year relationship previously built with friends and partners in Ukraine.

Everyone welcome.
