“In a world full of ducks, be a silly goose” said Ron Holgado, the founding member of the Parachute People, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit which creates community through play to empower personal wellbeing.

Ron’s quote encapsulated the webinar “A New Realm of Peacebuilding: Exploring the Intersection of Community, Play, Wellbeing and Resilience” which we held in collaboration with the Parachute People on September 20th as a part of the Fall 2022 Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School for Peace and Conflict Resolution at George Mason University Peace Week.
