CHILD HONOURING: THE COMPASSION REVOLUTION
Raffi Cavoukian
Singer, Author, and Founder of Child Honouring
- AN EVENT FOR ADULTS -

Thursday, September 21, 2006
7:30-9:30 PM

Kenneth C. Rowe Management Building
Dalhousie University
6100 University Avenue, Halifax
Saturday, September 23, 2006

7:30-9:30 PM 
Acadia Cinema Coop
450 Main Street, Wolfville

In a unique word and song presentation, Raffi will share his philosophy of
"Child Honoring," a children-first paradigm for humane and sustainable
communities - a compassionate revolution in values. Drawing on the
just-published anthology Child Honoring: How to Turn This World Around and
his new CD Resisto Dancing: Songs of Compassionate Revolution, Raffi
presents an exciting and hope-filled vision and an invitation to, as Nelson
Mandela has said, "turn this world around - for the children."

RAFFI CAVOUKIAN is the founder of Child Honouring, a children-first paradigm
for global restoration. He is a renaissance man known to millions simply as
Raffi: a renowned Canadian troubadour, record producer, systems thinker,
author, entrepreneur and ecology advocate, once called “the most popular
children’s entertainer in the western world” (Washington Post). President of
Troubadour Music, among the most successful independent record labels, Raffi
was a pioneer in music for children and families: his CDs, tapes, videos,
and DVDs have sold over 14 million copies in Canada and the US, and his
books, more than 3 million copies.
