  Salween Peace Park, Myanmar: Strengthening Karen People's Resistance,
  Resilience and Response to Conflict and Covid-19 Crises

with *Saw Paul Sein Twa* and *Naw Wah Ku Shee*

------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Sunday 1st August - 14:00 *(UTC/GMT)

    The Salween Peace Park is an initiative in Myanmar declared by
    Indigenous Karen people in December 2018 to bring peace, cultural
    harmony, self determination, and environmental integrity after 70
    years of armed conflict in the region. However, the community
    continues to face threats from the Burmese military dictatorship. In
    this webinar, Saw Paul Sein Twa and Naw Wah Ku Shee talk about the
    experience of the Karen people working towards self determination,
    navigating a global pandemic, and facing a violent military offensive.
