SUMMARY:Nashua - Parent Workshop Series: Staying Connected With Your Teen
DESCRIPTION:Why is staying connected important? \nAdolescence is a time of great growth – and big changes for your teen. \nDuring this busy and exciting period\, it is more important than ever to work hard to stay connected. Research shows that strong family relationships play a critical role in kids’ success as they transition into adulthood. Parents who have healthy bonds with their children have the greatest influence on the choices and decisions their teens make. This can be a tricky time as you are delicately balancing giving independence\, providing direction and support and also setting limits. \nStaying Connected with Your Teen provides dedicated time in a comfortable setting for parents and caregivers of preteens and teens to explore their relationship with their child\, learn about some of the factors that impact that relationship\, and develop concrete skills to build and/or maintain positive bonds.\nDuring the five two-hour sessions\, you will find support and community and learn about the changes happening in your child’s body and brain so that you can better understand why they do what they do. \nWhat you’ll learn: \n· Skills for increasing communication and decreasing conflict\n· Ways to bond with your teen\n· Strategies for preventing high-risk behaviors\n· How to involve your teen at home in problem-solving\, decision making\, and responsibility \nParticipants benefit from hearing other parents’ experiences\, gaining perspective about their child\, and problem-solving ideas for their own home. \n“It opened me up to new ideas on how to connect with my child and how to plan for handling family roles/policies” – past participant \n“Hearing about other parents’ challenges\, helps me know that my son’s behavior is normal”\n– past participant \nWednesdays\, 6:00 – 8:00 pm\nJoin us for dinner before the program at 5:30!\nNovember 7\, 14\, 28\nDecember 5\, 12 \nArlington Street Community Center\n76 Arlington Street\nNashua\, NH 03060\nWhile it is intended and best for you to attend all five sessions\, we know that isn’t always possible.

(For safety and storm closure information\, check here)\n \nAbout Apple Hill Center for Chamber Music and Playing for Peace  \nApple Hill exists to create\, perform\, and teach chamber music at the highest standard\, broaden the appreciation of chamber music through the development of educational programs\, and cultivate connection and understanding among people of diverse backgrounds and cultures through the Playing for Peace program.\n \nFounded in 1971 and situated on 100 acres of fields and woodlands in rural New Hampshire\, Apple Hill is a center of chamber music performance and teaching. It is stewarded today by the organization’s director\, Leonard Matczynski\, and ensemble-in-residence\, the Apple Hill String Quartet. These professional musicians present concerts and educational workshops throughout the world and\, during the summer\, teach and coach chamber music to participants of all ages and levels at Apple Hill’s Chamber Music Workshop. Each summer\, Apple Hill welcomes 300 students and 45 faculty to the Workshop\, a program known and loved for its musical depth and warm community spirit. Over 12\,000 students have attended since the early 1970s. \nCentral to the mission of Apple Hill is Playing for Peace\, an innovative outreach program founded in 1988 that focuses on social change and connection through music. Apple Hill travels to areas where there is a history of conflict—in the Middle East to Turkey\, Jordan\, Israel\, Egypt\, and the West Bank/Palestine; to England\, Northern Ireland\, and the Republic of Ireland; to the Greek and Turkish areas of Cyprus; to the Caucuses area of Eurasia; and to many US cities\, including New York\, Boston\, Philadelphia\, Dallas\, Memphis\, Los Angeles\, and San Francisco—performing concerts and leading chamber music workshops. \nThe principal tenet of Playing for Peace is this: At the chamber music workshops\, musicians are assigned to play in small ensembles alongside musicians from conflicting communities. For example\, Arabs study and perform music with Israelis\, Catholics with Protestants\, Greeks with Turks\, and African Americans with Caucasian Americans. We coach each ensemble in the skills of chamber music—listening\, watching\, adjusting\, sensitivity\, and being flexible—the same skills needed to work and function effectively in the world. The participants learn not only to play music but also to communicate and connect with each other in ways that may not be possible in their home countries. \nPresented in partnership with UNH Manchester’s homeland security\, history\, humanities and politics and society programs\, and the Fulbright Association

SUMMARY:Concord - Coercion in International Politics
DESCRIPTION:COERCION IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS\nKelly Greenhill and Peter Krause are the editors of Coercion: The Power to Hurt in International Politics (Oxford University Press\, 2018). From the rising significance of non-state actors to the increasing influence of regional powers\, the nature and conduct of international politics has changed dramatically since the Cold War era. This book examines intra-state\, inter-state\, and transnational coercion and deterrence as well as both military and non-military instruments of persuasion\, thus expanding our understanding of coercion for conflict in the 21st century. \nGreenhill and Krause will discuss the book’s key findings as well as their implications for ongoing security challenges facing the US today\, including insurgencies\, cyber attacks\, refugee and migration flows\, nuclear proliferation\, and more. \nKelly Greenhill’s Bio \n\n \nKelly M. Greenhill is a professor of political science and international relations at Tufts University and a research fellow at Harvard University.Greenhill is author of the award-winning Weapons of Mass Migration: Forced Displacement\, Coercion\, and Foreign Policy\, and co-author and co-editor of Sex\, Drugs\, and Body Counts: The Politics of Numbers in Global Crime and Conflict; The Use of Force: Military Power and International Politics\, 8th ed.;and Coercion: The Power to Hurt in International Politics. ​Greenhill is currently completing a new book that explores the influence on international politics of rumors\, conspiracy theories\, “fake news” and other forms of extra-factual information. \nGreenhill’s work has also appeared in an array of peer-reviewed journals and international media outlets\, such as the New York Times\, BBC\, and Foreign Affairs. Her research has been employed in legal briefs in cases argued before the U.S. Supreme Court and in policy briefs and planning guidance for other organs of the government. Outside of academia\, Greenhill has served as a consultant to the United Nations and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees\, the World Bank\, and the Ford Foundation; as an analyst for the U.S. Department of Defense; and as an economic policy intern for then Senator John Kerry. Greenhill holds an SM and a PhD from MIT\, a CSS from Harvard University\, and a BA from UC Berkeley.  \nPeter Krause Bio \n\n \nPeter Krause is an Associate Professor of political science at Boston College and a Research Affiliate with the MIT Security Studies Program. His research and writing focuses on Middle East politics\, political violence\, and national movements. He recently published Rebel Power: Why National Movements Compete\, Fight\, and Win (Cornell University Press\, 2017) and a co-edited volume Coercion: The Power to Hurt in International Politics (Oxford University Press\, 2018). He is currently working on projects that analyze which factions take power after regime change and the impact of education on attitudes about terrorism. Krause has conducted extensive fieldwork throughout the Middle East over the past decade. He has offered his analysis of Middle East politics and political violence in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill\, as well as with national and local media. He has a BA from Williams College in political science and history and a PhD in political science from MIT. Krause was formerly a Research Fellow at the Crown Center for Middle East Studies of Brandeis University\, as well as a Research Fellow at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs of the Harvard Kennedy School.

SUMMARY:Concord - Opening Day: Our People's Platform
DESCRIPTION:Join Rights and Democracy NH and other allied groups on the opening day of the legislature for a visibility in front of the Legislative Office Building at 8:30am to greet legislators on their way in to caucus. At 9:00am we will host a press conference in the Lobby of the Legislative Office Building to lift up our report: “New Hampshire Together: Voices from the Granite State” and announce our NH People’s Platform. After the press conference we will head to the state house with our issue signs to show our strength on the statehouse steps and in the halls of the statehouse to greet even more incoming legislators and share our NH People’s Platform with them. http://www.radnh.org/peoplesplatform \n“New Hampshire Together: Voices from the Granite State” is the result of a survey of 889 residents who filled out the New Hampshire Community Survey. This report is part of a national Rural and Small-Town Organizing Strategy launched earlier this year by People’s Action\, a national organization of which Rights & Democracy New Hampshire is an affiliate. \nWe talked to people in communities throughout New Hampshire – at farmers’ markets\, community meetings\, parades\, at their doorsteps and on the phone – they shared both the same deep concerns and broad agreement on common solutions. \nWe found strong agreement among substantial majorities that the major issues facing Granite State families and communities are: lack of access to affordable health care; the impact of the overdose crisis; quality public education; jobs that don’t pay enough; the cost of meeting the basics in life; the affordability of college and career training; and pollution of land and water. \nDownload the Full Report (PDF) here:\nhttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1ORxtngyoigwhN17xP_ylRSguD-yiYSyS/view

SUMMARY:Lebanon - Active Bystander Training
DESCRIPTION:Interactive workshop led by Asma Elhuni and Aron DiBacco.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nIn a time when people are quicker to express anger and more likely to be angry at people “not like them\,” many of us are seeking tools to respond effectively to such biased anger. \nThis training will give you tools and insights to use in such situations and a chance to think about how you might use them. In this highly interactive session we present information\, share experiences\, and strategize bystander responses to a variety of situations. Participants will learn about roles we all play\, what discourages us from acting when we see harm doing\, how to move through this resistance\, tools to use when we are ready\, and basic principles to guide our actions. \nCo-sponsored by SURJ Upper Valley VT-NH\, Granite State Organizing Project\, and United Valley Interfaith Project \nIf necessary\, the snow date for this event is February 2\, 1:30-4 PM. \nDate And Time\n\nSat\, January 12\, 2019 \n1:30 PM – 4:00 PM EST \n\nLocation\n\nKilton Public Library \n80 Main Street \nLebanon\, NH 03784
