Dr. Deborah Heifetz developed a new tool for global peace-building: the “Human Needs Map." Heifetz presented her work during a colloquium by the Council on Middle East Studies (CMES). Events included an EveryBody Dances movement workshop at Yale Schwarzman Center.
Addressing the Roots of Conflict through “The Human Needs Map: A Tool for Peacebuilding”

In these troubled times, both worldwide and locally, I feel that Heifetz’s CMES talk and her Schwarzman Center movement workshop provided some relief, hope, and better tools for coping with and changing our realities.
This colloquium and workshop were made possible by CMES at the MacMillan Center, the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, the Hebrew Program, the Schwarzman Center, and the Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) Program.
