Whanganui Library recommends Linda Hansen as an experienced researcher and storyteller offering a comprehensive presentation on peacemakers in Aotearoa New Zealand in a wide sweep across history: “Linda guided us through centuries of peacemaking right up to the present day. It’s accessible, riveting material that’s relevant to all ages. It’s also valuable to hear and understand how the universal peace principle extends across time and cultures,” said Learning and Discovery Librarian Esther Newrick.
The Library was seeking a public event to attract back audiences post-Covid-19. Written feedback after Linda’s session, held in the Alexander Heritage & Research Library | Te Rerenga Mai o Te Kāuru, confirms “it was very well received and a worthwhile event. Listeners learned a great deal about New Zealand’s lesser-known peace history and enjoyed a lively question and answer session at the end.”
