Every year, on the third Thursday of October, the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR) celebrates Conflict Resolution Day.
As the ACR website describes the day:
“Conflict Resolution Day was conceived in 2005 by ACR to:
• Promote awareness of mediation, arbitration, conciliation and other creative, peaceful means of resolving conflict;
• Promote the use of conflict resolution in schools, families, businesses, communities, governments and the legal system;
• Recognize the significant contributions of (peaceful) conflict resolvers; and
• Obtain national synergy by having celebrations happen across the country and around the world on the same day.”
It’s great to have a special opportunity to celebrate the work that I so much enjoy!
