STLCC-Florissant Valley Hosts Event On Peace and Transformation
St. Louis Community College is seeking proposals from organizations, community members, citizens, artists and performers to participate September 18-19 in an event celebrating and promoting peace and community transformation in Ferguson and the surrounding communities. The deadline for submission is 5 p.m. July 10.
Selected participants will be asked to support the conference with a donation of $25. The funds will be used to support Ferguson residents who wish to attend the first day of the conference.
On Friday, Sept. 18, the event will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Florissant Valley campus, 3400 Pershall Road. The second day is open to the community from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The main group activity will be led by the international organization Chalk4Peace. Activities are free.
The community is invited to submit abstracts or proposals breakout sessions lasting 30 to 60 minutes.
“We are asking individuals, groups and organizations that seek to promote peace and justice or prevent and resolve conflict to apply,” said Janice Nesser-Chu, arts and humanities chair at STLCC-Florissant Valley. “For Day 2, we invite you to submit a proposal for group activities, performances or information booths that will bring the community together as we continue healing and developing our vision for peace in Ferguson.”
