Called “The spirit behind the Words and Violence Project,” Barbara Kaufmann is an award winning writer, poet, author and artist who founded the “Words and Violence” Program (now in its 4rd edition,) a global educational resource (147 countries) of more than 600 pages about bullying in its many incarnations—from the playground to media to how we bully our planet. The new edition is hosted at Voices Compassionate Education, a global humanitarian and Educational Institute.

Longtime human and civil rights advocate, activist and peacemaker, she has written for Voices Education Project, Huffington Post, magazines, journals, is a founding case author for George Washington University School of Business, and is a script writer and filmmaker.

One of the early members of Sister Cities, she held an executive office for a decade, was impresario for the annual fundraising concerts, and wrote grants that funded Russian-American partnerships during the cold war. One grant from USAID funded the social infrastructure for decommissioning chemical weapons in Russia. That story is chronicled in "Looking Back," an anthology by authors who actually lived the history. She is a Charter for Compassion member—both local and global and her “One Wordsmith” website where she “Writes to simply change the world” features humanitarian story.
