Creating peace for 60 years

In 1946, the former Caux-Palace Hotel in the Swiss village of Caux opened its doors to the world as an international conference centre for Initiatives of Change (then known as Moral Re-Armament). Sixty years on, each Northern summer the Caux assembly draws between 1400 and 2000 people of all walks of life to be part of a continuous series of conferences dealing with specific subjects. It is at Caux that many of the Initiatives of Change programmes are developed.

New Program Director for the Caux Scholars Program

Jitka Hromek-Vaitla has an interesting name that reflects a history full of stories. Born in Czechoslovakia, she grew up under the communist regime and was 11 when the “Velvet Revolution” ushered in a new era of democracy in 1989. Jitka brings her personal experience to her role as the new Program Director of The Caux Scholars Program. “It is so important for young people from emerging democracies to meet the world at Caux and learn skills that they can apply to post conflict societies,” she says.
