HOW TO HANDLE A BULLY AND OTHER CONFLICT RESOLUTION SOLUTIONS PRESENTED BY MARK BINDER AS HE BRINGS “THE ART OF PEACE” TO THE DOVER LIBRARY
Grant from Dover Cultural Council Helps Support Evening for Kids and Adults
The Friends of the Dover Library is pleased to announce that Mark Binder, author, storyteller and self-described ‘nice guy’, will present “The Art of Peace” on Tuesday, October 6, at 7 p.m. at the Dover Library. Combining his martial arts experience and storytelling skills, Binder will present a program that will prove both entertaining and discussion-provoking. It is suitable for children in 3rd grade and older, including teens and adults.
Binder will tackle questions such as: How can you handle a bully? When does a conflict begin? What are the consequences of violence? Can problems be resolved peacefully? Believing there is an alternative to war, Binder helps students understand the nature of conflict, teaches ways to deal with upsets and problems, and creates new options for action and resolution.
“Stories do more than teach and engage the imagination,” Binder said. “They can inspire change and transform lives.”
A former candidate for US Congress, Mark Binder is a writer, storyteller and Aikido instructor. He holds a third-degree black belt in Aikido, the martial art for peace. He has recently released a new booklet, "The Art of Peace", which includes some of the stories in the presentation.

The evening is coordinated by the Friends of the Dover Library and supported in part by a grant from the Dover Cultural Council, a local agency supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council (MCC), a state agency. For more information on the MCC, please visit www.massculturalcouncil.org.
