Written By Colette Rausch

Held on December 7th, 2021, in preparation for the Summit for Democracy, this webinar co-hosted by Think Peace, Beyond Conflict, Alliance for Peacebuilding (AfP), Wabanaki REACH, The Truth Telling Project, and the Mary Hoch Foundation (MHF) shared U.S. and international experiences on how truth telling, healing and transformation are helping to rebuild the social fabric and trust that are essential for healthy democracies. The discussion also featured how brain and behavioral science can inform our patterns of dehumanization, empathy, and trauma, in relation to readiness for reconciliation.
