Building Peace on Stone Walls: stone cultures, dry stone walling, education and stone festivals.
This was a short talk given at the 2024 Jeju Peace forum in South Korea A video of the forum session can be found at https://youtu.be/KdYIFagX3sE the talk starts 7 minutes in and continues at breakneck speed for 23 minutes. Slightly adapted text of the talk can be found here https://9f06c49d-8979-4905-8800-5c1ae78a0294.filesusr.com/ugd/398b8f_24f8f05606664539a32f27e5c71cf35f.pdf
the talk briefly compares stone structures across the world and through time, highlighting commonalities before looking at the importance of education and how festivals across europe, north america and even further afield bring people together.
I hope to expand the talk taking the current content at a more leisurely pace and adding a wider look at the stone culture of South Korea
