Change of Leadership for IofC Switzerland

After five years, Barbara Hintermann, Secretary General of IofC Switzerland, will leave the Foundation in Spring 2020 to become the first woman to be Director General of Terre des hommes, the largest Swiss organization engaged in child protection. Initiatives of Change Switzerland will therefore be looking for its new Secretary General.  


Even if saddened by her departure, Christine Beerli, President of IofC Switzerland understands that this was a professional opportunity that Barbara Hintermann could not miss. ‘I am happy for her and thank her for all her engagement and the quality of the work and support that she has provided for IofC Switzerland in these last years. We truly wish her all the best. But it isn’t over just yet! Barbara will still be with us to manage the process of our new strategy until next Spring. In the meantime we will be looking for a qualified candidate to take on the task of leading the Foundation into the future.’

Barbara says it wasn’t an easy decision, but one she had to make. ‘I enjoyed my time here at IofC Switzerland and I will always continue to believe in its vision and the importance of its mission. I strongly believe that a just, peaceful and sustainable world starts with each and everyone of us taking on responsibility. I have had the pleasure of being responsible of IofC Switzerland for these last five years, surrounded by an amazing team and guided by a supportive council. I discovered IofC’s richness and diversity in its worldwide network and IofC’s history within the walls of the unique Caux Palace. When this opportunity arose to be leading Terre des Hommes, an organization I have supported for a long time, I knew I had to take the chance. I am honoured to have been selected. I know I am leaving  IofC Switzerland during a difficult time, but I will ensure a smooth transition, and have all the faith in the world that the very professional and dedicated team will bring the Foundation into the future.”

Life-changing training programme

'Caux gave me hope'

'Caux gave me hope'

 

When Mulham Soufi heard that Caux was ‘an incredible place where people change the world’, he couldn’t believe such a place existed. So he decided to see for himself, by signing up for the Caux Peace and Leadership Programme (CPLP) in 2018. He never imagined that two years later he would be claiming that the training programme had changed his life.

Born in Syria and mostly raised in France, Mulham didn’t have much hope in 2018. His main purpose was to find a way to simply fit into French society, which he saw as unchangeable. ‘I didn’t care much about wars or exploitation’, he explains, ‘I just wanted to seek out the best for myself in this system.’

Through the CPLP, Mulham learnt about global issues and gained soft skills, such as listening and facilitation. He also discovered an international community of people who were full of hope. ‘I met incredible, inspiring, like-minded people from around the world,’ he says. ‘Everywhere in the world there is a trustworthy person I can stay with, because we connected through the programme, even if just for a few minutes.’

‘Once you have connected with so many people with different realities and contexts, you can’t not care anymore.’ 

These new relationships helped Mulham gain perspective. ‘Once you have connected with so many people with different realities and contexts, you can’t not care anymore.’ Once he got back home, he started asking himself, ‘What if I don’t have to live in this preordained system? What if things could change?’ Instead of seeking out the best for himself, he realized that he could ‘be part of a whole while seeking the best for others’. He felt a personal responsibility to work to resolve the issues facing the world. He started applying what he had learnt at Caux, listening to others more and seeking opportunities to give before looking after himself.

Mulham returned to CPLP in 2019 and was excited to share the changes he had made in his life. He told his life story publicly for the first time during the Just Governance for Human Security conference. ‘When I saw the emotions of other people listening to my story, I felt understood,’ he says. Reclaiming his story freed him. ‘It gave it less importance in my life.’  

A lot has changed for Mulham since 2018. He achieved his dream of being accepted into Ecole 42, Lyon’s renowned computer programming school. He has become active in AZUNI, a non-profit organization working to sensitize youth to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. He’s been invited to different conferences, including the World Youth Forum 2019, which took place in Egypt in December. He believes that the CPLP gave him ‘the maturity and reason to succeed in my projects’.

 ‘Caux is magical,’ he says. ‘It gave me hope.’ He plans to return to CPLP in 2020 as a trainer.

Applications for the Caux Peace and Leadership Programme 2020 are open until 19 January 2020! Alumni of the CPLP are also organizing the conference Creative Leadership, which will take place from 7 to 10 July 2020.

Friends of Caux Weekend

 

Every November, the Friends of Caux meet over a weekend in Caux. This year their theme was ‘the values that challenge us’. From 16-17 November, about 30 people gathered to share stories and reflect on IofC’s four core values: honesty, unselfishness, love and purity of motive. They also heard about IofC’s current work around trustbuilding. 

The Friends of Caux implement projects which further the aims of Initiatives of Change Switzerland and increase the visibility of the Caux Forum. They meet frequently in Bern, and gather for days in different parts of Switzerland.

Those who attended the November weekend agreed that the IofC’s values were not only a daily challenge, but also a guide to finding inner peace.

‘These moments of exchange and sharing encourage us to keep going, to keep the hope alive for the future of our world and to keep trying to embody these values,’ said one participant.

Training in group facilitation and participatory strategic planning

At IofC Switzerland, we believe that facilitation is key for any group of people, who come together to have a conversation that moves individuals and organizations to work towards a more just, peaceful and sustainable world – whether they are a team or not. This is why we provide facilitation training and offer our facilitation services in collaboration with ICA.

 

Facilitation training Nov 2019

 

On 28 and 29 October 2019, Anna Krebs and Brigitt Altwegg co-delivered our latest Group Facilitation Methods (GFM) course. The participants brought with them a unique energy and great practical questions. They said they were delighted to have learnt a framework that would help them structure their facilitation in the future. Practice sessions enabled them to fine-tune their facilitation skills.

On 30 and 31 October, Jonathan Dudding from ICA UK delivered a second course on Participatory Strategic Planning (PSP) in Geneva. Heba Aly, Director of The New Humanitarian, said: ‘This course helped make sense of the process, with a clear roadmap and tools to use to run successful strategic planning processes with your teams. I had been searching for help with this and didn’t quite know where to turn. Very happy I came across this course!’

2019 Geneva Peace Week: Building trust in Geneva and in Europe

27/11/2019
Featured Story
Off

 

Geneva is full of organizations which are working for peace, human rights and wellbeing, but they rarely come together. Each year, Geneva Peace Week seeks to break down the silos between these actors and to stress that ‘each and every person, actor and institution has a role to play in building peace and resolving conflict’. 

 

Geneva Peace Week Human Library 2019

 

IofC facilitated three events at this year’s Peace Week, which ran from 4–8 November. Two focused on networking and aimed to encourage collaboration between Geneva’s humanitarian, human rights and development organizations as well as the private sector, academia and the media. The other was a human library on ‘building trust in and around Europe’.   

The first networking event addressed ‘What is thriving and what is missing in the field of truth and trust?’. It was driven by participants’ questions and the topics they wished to be addressed.

The second event, on ‘Who is who at Geneva Peace Week?’, took place just before the official opening on the second day of the week. This one-hour facilitated event buzzed with energy, as around 120 people connected meaningfully with each other. Newly formed groups left together to attend the opening ceremony.  

As in previous years, IofC also organized a human library, in collaboration with the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, the Hospice général of Geneva, the Kofi Annan Foundation, Lake Aid, the Geneva Centre for Security Policy and the UN Library Geneva. About 80 people took part, choosing two ‘human books’ to engage with out of five possibilities:  

 

Geneva Peace Week Human Library 2019

 

  • Geneva’s Hospice Général is the canton’s main social welfare office. Its Director General, Christoph Girod, and Project Coordinator, Brice Ngarambe, focused on the integration of refugees and asylum seekers in Switzerland. Brice shared his own story as an asylum seeker, who is now well integrated and helping new arrivals. ‘Not being afraid of going towards the other and learning the language is the most important thing,’ he said. He spoke of the difficulty of building trust when you are unsure whether you’ll be allowed to stay. Going to university, sharing a flat with other students and volunteering had all helped him to integrate. Christoph Girod mentioned the difficulty caused by decisions being made far away in Bern. He welcomed a new law on asylum which, he said, will allow refugee and asylum seeker welcome centres to make decisions on the spot and thereby shorten the application process. 

  • Yevhen Shybalov, who works for the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue in Ukraine, told how war came to his home region of Donbas. Half of Ukraine’s toxic waste is stored there, and this poses a threat to all parties in the conflict. He described how he helped to facilitate unofficial talks between experts on either side of the frontline, in the hope that ecological issues will become an essential part of any future settlement. ‘Common problems unite people,’ he said.  
     

  • Muna Ismail, a scientist and environmentalist of Somalian origin living in Great Britain, is passionate about land restoration in post-conflict states. Over the last four years, she has been developing IofC UK’s  Refugees as Rebuilders™ training programme for settled refugees from the Horn of Africa and other conflict-affected regions. She leads the programme’s module on sustainable livelihood. She is also developing a major project to reintroduce Yeheb, a drought-resistant plant which is native to Somalia and Somaliland and provides food for both animals and humans. 

 

  • Independent filmmaker Manuela Fresil presented clips of her documentary, The Good Wheat and the Tares, in which Burim, a 14-year-old asylum seeker from Macedonia, stars. Then she asked Burim, who arrived in France when he was four, about his personal experience. He said that the most difficult part of those 10 years in limbo were the nights he spent on the floor. His family has spent the last two years in an ‘emergency welcome centre’ and his biggest dream now is to live in an apartment and be ‘normal’, like the other children in his school. Manuela said she made the documentary because she couldn’t ‘live knowing that children live on the streets my own country’. The combination of Burim’s shyness and Manuela’s activism made this ‘book’ a very emotional one to ‘read’.  

 

  • The fifth human book was Hajer Sharief, co-founder of the Libyan NGO, Together We Build It, and part of the Extremely Together Initiative of the Kofi Annan Foundation. She made the point that what happens outside Europe affects the continent and vice versa. Her work focuses mainly on capacity building in Libya and raising awareness among the international community. She believes the present peace process is being handled as if it were a trade agreement and that women and children in particular are not adequately represented. ‘If people do not feel part of the process then peace will not be sustainable,’ she said. She called for a ban on supplying weapons to the armed groups. In Libya she organizes workshops for the community where she breaks down the formal concept of peace and security and brings it closer to community members, demonstrating that we all have a role to play.  

 

Geneva Peace Week Human Library 2019

 

After listening to two stories, participants gathered back in the main room to exchange what they had heard with each other. The books were then asked to share some final thoughts on how trust could be built in Europe.  

As intergenerational dialogue is an issue in Europe, Manuela half-jokingly suggested a language exchange programme for grandparents. She also thought that reinstating night trains across Europe could boost intercultural exchange. Burim hoped for the day when that no one will have to wait ten years to get their papers  

Brice and Christoph invited the audience to consider volunteering to help refugees and asylum seekers to integrate and to help them build trust in themselves. If you'd like to have more information on how to volunteer yourself you can take a look at their dedicated guide on how to volunteer (in French).   

The event was part of IofC Switzerland’s Enriching Encounters series.
