MasterPeace is a one-week series of interactive events, lectures, open forums, and simulations devoted to raising awareness regarding global genocide in its historical and present context with a specific focus on the region of Darfur and the country of Burma. The week is deliberately designed to challenge Providence College students to engage in their role as global citizens through the creation of, and exposure to, opportunities that directly effect change.
The title is meant to inspire students on campus to strive toward eliminating global violence and human rights violations through peaceful activism. The word is an intentional play on the word masterpiece, and hence bears a double meaning. We endeavor the totality of this week’s campus-wide efforts to metaphorically represent the College’s contribution of its own personal masterpiece to the international human museum that is the history of global conflict.
