Harrisonburg: EMU hosts peacebuilding conference When 60 students were asked to name problems they want solved, answers included environmental, immigration and criminal justice reform and eliminating genocide, human trafficking and racism. “Backyard Peacebuilding: Cultivating Peace In Our Neighborhoods” was the 2010 theme for the conference - an annual gathering organized by students from Mennonite schools for more than 60 years.
