Embrace Berwyn.

 Because peace is a local concern first, our primary ambition is to uplift the community that we are in. The campaign showcases works of Berwyn artisans, provides a forum for Berwyn based teachers and speakers, and raises awareness for decreasing violence in Berwyn, one person at a time.

It came about because I've lived in Berwyn for eight years and am surprised as I listen to residents and neighbors talk about Berwyn and its leaders with some cynicism. Perhaps you already know that Berwyn is home to many teachers, thought leaders, and artists who express elsewhere, and not in town.

My desire is to hold a space and offer an invitation for that talent and leadership to refocus itself on the homefront in the mission of making Berwyn an even better place to live. The city government, our teachers and artists who already have Embraced Berwyn need our support to continue moving the town forward. The campaign honors their contributions. 

Want to join the fun?? T-shirts and coffee mugs are available in The Peace Center gift shop! If you want to be on our monthly speakers panel, contact Margo at 708-749-8888.
