People come to the Summer Peacebuilding Institute (SPI) from dark days and dark situations, looking for hope and inspiration. And they come from bright places and bright days, bringing a focus and a commitment they can share with others. For a brief time, SPI is a kind of bazaar of hope and focus, combining what participants bring with the courses, readings, experiences, discussions, and sheer infectiousness of being together. In classrooms and lunchrooms, in prayer and debate, during role plays and sports and picnics, people broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding.
The SPI community is one of mutual respect and learning. An interactive approach is used in the classroom to draw upon the rich experiences of participants as well as instructors, but the classroom is only one of the places where learning takes place. Outside of class there is much informal sharing of personal stories, cultural values and new possibilities.
The Summer Peacebuilding Institute (SPI) is a place to share your faith with others and to discover the power of communal deliberations on the urgent issues of our time – equitable development, protection of human rights, sustainable management of the environment, and global security.
SPI provides a safe and creative space for exploring the possibilities for personal and collective peace, as participants, faculty, staff, and invited guests discover common interests through classroom interaction, luncheon presentations, weekend seminars, special interest groups, and community celebrations.
