Small groups in every society are building a world organized around principles of justice, equity, human dignity, right relationship with our planet, and peace. The work looks different in each context and we do not always use the same language to describe it. The Summer Peacebuilding Institute (SPI) is here to help you gain the skills necessary to change your community and the world.
The following courses can be taken for professional development or academic credit. Visit our website (click here) for more information or click the course title below for more information on each course.
