It is never too early to start planning an event, arranging for a proclamation or brainstorming new ways to celebrate the benefits of conflict resolution. Visit www.ACRnet.org/crday to view listings of past events and to view a sample letter requesting a gubernatorial proclamation. 

Conflict Resolution Day posters are available in Arabic, English, French, Hebrew, and Japanese and other languages as they become available.

Conflict Resolution Day is an annual celebration conceived by ACR in 2005 and activities take place on or around the third Thursday in October. Join us and celebrate in October!
