Events
The China Peace Initiative’s free, online seminars are intended to be an enjoyable way to learn things that you always wanted to know more about.
These are live events in small groups so that the experience is intimate enough to include at least some Q&A.
When you sign up you will be sent a confirmation email with the link to join. Because it’s from the comfort of your own home, you control the experience. Camera on or off, ask a question or not, give up and go to bed…it’s your choice.
