2017 was quite a year for Creators of Peace. We held our first 'Peace in Practice' programme at Caux and launch our 'Change the Stories & You Change the World' booklet.

Take a look inside our second edition of 'Gathering Point', the Creators of Peace international newsletter which is published especially for 21st September, International Day of Peace.

The 21st September is International Day of Peace. Kate Monkhouse shares how Creators of Peace is joining with Peace One Day and others all around the world to send a message of peace.

This fall the fifth gathering of the initiative Faith in Green, in Dutch ‘Geloven in Groen’, will take place in The Hague. Muslims, Hindus and Christians gather around their common beliefs of taking care for and protecting the earth and inspire and connect to take (joint) action to make their faith community more sustainable. Initiatives of Change Netherlands (IofC) coordinates and facilitates the initiative that kicked-off in August one year ago.

I am humbled by the unanimous support of the members of the International Association for electing me as the new President of IofC International. I honestly believe that everything happens for a reason, and so since the election I have been asking myself ‘why have I been chosen as President during this crucial moment in our international IofC work?’

The seventh annual Youth Camp was themed “Youth Empowerment for a Green Life” and ended with countless significant personal changes. There were 46 participants of university students and working professionals from Phnom Penh and Battambang.
