PROGRAM

What does it take to build trust across divides of culture, race and politics? Do our lives demonstrate the kind of change that we want to see in the world? What tools do we need as peacemakers?

Tools for Change 2007 offered one week of personal development and skills-building for people from all sectors of society. Participants studied with experienced teachers and facilitators from inside and outside the IofC network, and examined the core values of Initiatives of Change and their relationship to peacemaking and community-building. The cultural diversity of the conference worked to create an exchange of ideas about how to think about and address the work of making change. The programme aimed to equip and empower participants for the work they undertake after leaving Caux and to set them on a path of further discovery.

An international faculty addressed theory and practice around creating and sustaining positive change. Every activity, including service in the house, aimed to contribute to the development of participants in a holistic, interactive learning experience.

LEARNING TRACKS

In addition to the shared learning experience, participants could select from a variety of courses offered in these parallel learning tracks:

• Peacebuilding: Conflict, Trauma, and History
• Honest Conversation and Dialogue Facilitation
• Mobilizing and Maintaining Networks for Action
• Communicating a Vision, Telling the Story
• Inner Resources for Change


Tools for Change 2007 ran alongside the annual gathering of the Global Indigenous Dialogue. Please see the GID website for more information.
