What: Peacemaking Workshop and event, hosted by Lincoln’s Interfaith Peacemaking Coalition.

When: 3-4:45 p.m. April 3

Where: The Railyard, Canopy Street, in the Lincoln Haymarket.

Details: Family-friendly event celebrates the 30th year of Lincoln’s Interfaith Peacemaking Coalition, an organization dedicated to building peace through action locally and globally.

Keynote speaker is 15-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee Dawn Engle, co-founder of PeaceJam Foundation creator of the 10-year campaign calling people to commit One Billion Acts of Peace by 2024.

Entertainment and activities include performances by Taiko Drummers; Star City Kochayiam from South Street Temple; Kusi Taki an Andean band; Lincoln Public School’s international children’s choir and a choir of college students.

Jody Williams, a 1997 Nobel Peace Prize winner for her work eradicating landmines, will appear via Skype on the Cube’s big screen. The Dalai Lama also will deliver a message via broadcast.

The peacemaking event is being held in collaboration with the Good Neighbor Community Center, Food Bank of Lincoln and Center for People in Need.

People interested in learning more or taking part in Lincoln’s 10,000 acts of peace campaign can go on to the Lincoln Peacemakers’ Facebook page. Acts of Peace can be registered online at lincolnpeacemakers.com and click on “Make It Count.”

"When you see something wrong, and you try to discover the root cause of the problem, and then create a plan to tackle that root cause, either alone or with others who also care -- THAT is an Act of Peace."

-- Ivan Suvanjieff, co-founder of PeaceJam

“An Act of Peace is one that makes others’ lives easier by giving, advocating, organizing, intervening or reaching out.”

-- Martha Gadberry, co-chair Lincoln Peacemakers
