Dear Friend,
This December we are dedicating our entire annual workshop to this innovative project. At this one-day intensive event, we wish to bring together members of our community who would like to join us in developing this groundbreaking project.

Workshop Registration:
In this workshop we are using a new registration system through Eventbrite.
Eventbrite is free as long as our events are free of charge. It uses the term "Ticket" for reserving a space for participants (we would have preferred a different term to replace the word ticket).
Thank you for your patience and support as we try out this new registration system!
Welcome to the Workshop!

De l’humiliation à la dignité : pour un avenir de solidarité mondiale
Founding President Evelin Lindner
|
En s’appuyant sur plusieurs décennies de recherches, sur son expérience de psychologue clinicienne et sur les leçons de l’histoire, Evelin Lindner illustrera les différences entre humiliation d’honneur et humiliation de dignité. Elle montrera pourquoi la dignité est un concept spécifique qui ne peut se résumer ni à l’autonomie, ni au respect, ni à la fierté. |

Dignifunding: Thanks to All of Our Sharegivers!
|
|
We are grateful to all who sustain HumanDHS with action gifts and economic support!
HumanDHS does not have a paid staff, administrative assistance, or IT services. We are an "extreme, lean, green, but not mean" community, essentially a "do-it-together-with-dignity" community. We do not charge registration fees for events, yet we appreciate thoughtful contributions (according to one's ability).
If you would like to contribute, we warmly welcome your kind support:

Wishing You a World of Dignity! |
