Exclusive insights and reflections from DLC founding director Victor Chan
 VANCOUVER, MARCH 29, 2010 - Six months ago today, the Dalai Lama Center for Peace and Education was closing the curtains on an extraordinary event that brought more than 20 leaders of social change, including five Nobel Laureates, to Vancouver for three inspiring days of conversation about peace, compassion and universal responsibility.
The largest such gathering of Nobel Laureates in Canada, the 2009 Vancouver Peace Summit was called “historic and unprecedented”. Today, to mark the occasion, the DLC is pleased to share the first installment of the Vancouver Peace Summit Reflections series with DLC founding director Victor Chan.
"With the Summit, we put together something that a lot of people are saying is quite historic and an important moment in the development of civil society in Vancouver, in Canada and beyond,” says Chan, who had a principal role in bringing these great minds together. "I'm very pleased with how it came together."
This series is a candid look back at some of the memorable Summit moments from all four of the dialogues, which included World Peace through Personal Peace, Nobel Laureates in Dialogue: Connecting for Peace, Educating the Heart, and Women and Peace-building.
Each installment in this series features rich multimedia, including never before seen photos, special video footage and complete audio podcasts of all the dialogues.
