Featuring Diane Perlman and Marilyn Langlois

27 Apr 2022 – Transcend Method and Wise Power Special Presentation (beginning at 13m:50s in the video) by Diane Perlman and Marilyn Langlois, the US Conveners of Transcend International founded by Johan Galtung, father of peace studies and conflict transformation, and guest editorialists of Transcend Media Service-TMS

Perlman’s slide presentation, entitled WISE POWER™ ParadigmBeyond Hard, Soft & Smart Power – Quantum Politics & Second Order Change proposes a model of Wise Power™, akin to the Transcend Method of conflict transformation, representing solutions-oriented, outside-the-box thinking to create a new reality that bridges seemingly intractable legitimate goals. They considered how this can be applied to the Ukraine situation and other conflicts. Followed by group discussion.
