Avril Orloff

AVRIL ORLOFF is a facilitator who specializes in building connections within organizations and communities, using her skills in dialogue, compassionate listening, and (yes!) applied improvisation. She is one of the founders of Vancouver Friends of Standing Together, which supports and amplifies the work of Standing Together, a progressive grassroots movement of Jewish and Palestinian citizens of Israel calling for a permanent ceasefire, an immediate hostage deal, and an end to the occupation. VFOST was proud to host a book talk and discussion with Raja Khouri and Jeffrey Wilkinson last June based on their book, The Wall Between.
