Welcome to Our Annual Dignity Workshop!

Welcome!

Dear Linda,

We are delighted to welcome you to our Annual Workshop on Transforming Humiliation and Violent Conflict, "Toward Dignity for All"! We are glad to have you with us in this hybrid workshop!

By coming together every year, we strive to strengthen our community connections, to deepen understanding of crucial topics, to generate dignifying dialogues, and to foster collaborations that will spark fresh ideas for action in the world! The focus is on conversations, rather than presentations.

This email is intended to provide details about your participation in this special event. For additional details, please kindly visit the workshop website.

We are deeply grateful to all who generously sustain HumanDHS through action gifts and economic support!

HumanDHS does not have a paid staff, administrative assistance, or IT services. We are an "extreme, lean, green, but not mean" community, essentially a "do-it-together-with-dignity" community. We do not charge registration fees for events, yet we appreciate thoughtful contributions (according to one's ability).

If you would like to contribute, we warmly welcome your kind support:
