<h2>About the 2023 International Peace Conference</h2>
<p>The 2023 International Peace Conference aims to equip attendees with peacemaking skills so they are able to create change in their communities. </p>
<p>“Ever since I moved back to Birmingham in 1981, I’ve been involved in a number of community organizations that have been based on efforts to build bridges relative to race and intolerance in all forms.” </p>
<p>Will Ratliff, Chair, 2023 International Peace Conference</p>
<p>Will Ratliff and fellow Rotarians, including Andrea L. Taylor, CEO of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, decided to create the International Peace Conference. Their goal is to teach participants peacemaking skills at local and international levels. His heavy organizational involvement led him to foster relationships with leadership at various local institutions, including: </p>
<ul>
<li>Rotary International District 6860</li>
<li>Birmingham Civil Rights Institute</li>
<li>UAB’s Institute for Human Rights </li>
</ul>
<p>These relationships helped form the structure and content of the 2023 International Peace Conference. </p>
