SUMMARY:A Symposium on Reconciliation
DESCRIPTION:The Cleveland Council on World Affairs (CCWA) is honored to take part in the Mandel Opera & Humanities Festival: Reconciliation in partnership with The Cleveland Orchestra.

The program will feature two discussions. The first\, curated by Global Cleveland\, will explore Cleveland’s immigrant history and contributions. Then\, after a special musical interlude performed by Cleveland Orchestra musicians\, CCWA will host a panel discussion on reconciliation through the lens of international peace processes. A continental breakfast will be served.  \nCCWA is proud to present Ambassador Gina Abercrombie-Winstanley\, Michael Scharf\, and Milena Sterio for a panel discussion about the lessons that can be learned on reconciliation from international peace processes.
