Facilitation Team:
Emilie Pujol is Social Movement Culture and Leadership & Training Lead at Animal Think Tank, a non-profit currently building a nonviolent social movement for Animal Freedom in the UK. She has been an animal rights and climate justice advocate for a decade, touching on all aspects of activist life from building campaigns, organising events, designing actions, to training others in nonviolent direct action. Today she is concerned with how to support activists to build strong and resilient groups, navigate conflicts in transformative ways. She is a fierce believer in the power of nonviolence to change the world for the better.
Peter Digitale Anderson is the Director of Formation at Peace Catalyst International. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Peter regularly leads workshops and coaches peacebuilders in conflict transformation, nonviolence, and social change. In the Twin Cities, he is focused on catalyzing people to get involved in the work of racial healing and justice, ranging from internal growth and accountability to wide-scale social change. Peter is inspired by the way Kingian Nonviolence offers both a moral and spiritual foundation as well as practical skills for healing and transforming society.
