Title Sustainable Cities and the Cross-Cultural Peacebuilding Approach Day / Time Monday, June 19th / 16:30 - 18:30 Room MR08 Event Description This networking session will be a participatory workshop where theory meets practice. This engaging event will allow participants to interact and add new tools to their conflict resolution approaches. Sustainable Cities and the Cross-Cultural Peacebuilding Approach will showcase the YOUCAN Peacebuilding approach with highlights from our pioneering Cross-Cultural Conflict Resolution Module for youth. Theory will be highlighted through group activities and discussion, understanding that while conflict is universal, how we deal with it is not. This workshop takes a holistic view of culture - including ethnicity, socio-economic status, sexuality, ability, and gender - to provide participants with a framework to build a culturally sensitive, collaborative conflict resolution process which can be tailored to their individual communities and cultures.

These young people must cope with violence, bullying, and gangs. YOUCAN is committed to providing them with training to develop skills to confidently and courageously address these sources of conflict. YOUCAN is Canada's leading "for youth, by youth" organization providing training in conflict resolution. YOUCAN was founded in 1997 and has trained 18,000 Canadian youth in 15 cities and more than 30 schools. YOUCAN's Vision: To ensure every youth in Canada learns conflict resolution skills and is inspired to use and share these skills to ultimately make a peaceful difference in the world. Rock.Paper.Scissors Inc. is Vancouver’s award winning corporate training and entertainment company. Established in 1992, Rock.Paper.Scissors (RPS) has built a reputation for producing hit comedy shows and critically acclaimed corporate entertaining and training. RPS is where great minds come to laugh, learn and play--from the stage to the boardroom; and from the convention hall to the classroom. Community Works, RPS’s not for profit training division, is a catalyst for skill building and creating capacity in the not-for-profit sector. Through our workshops in cross-cultural and diversity training and team building we engage and inspire participants to build skills while bridging differences, to strengthen their relation to community by celebrating diversity. Our customized workshops offer hands-on practical skills in a creative and collaborative learning environment. We also cover areas such as needs assessment, evaluation and planning, curriculum design, and cultural audits for organizations. A key component of all of our training services is to provide sustainable action plans for the future so that knowledge and skills are transferred back into the workplace.
