More Training Offers with Initiatives of Change
At Initiatives of Change, we believe that good learning processes engage the whole persona. The global Initiatives of Change network therefore offers a broad range of training offers, combining intellectual and heart experience, mixing theory and practice with experienced trainers.
Qualities and Strategies of Peacemakers
Qualities and Strategies of Peacemakers (QSP-online) is a course organised by IofC UK and consists of five short modules, each based on a film about outstanding peacemakers and acts as an introduction to an approach to peacemaking that was developed by Frank Buchman, the founder of what is today known as Initiatives of Change. To unpack these various approaches, five films have been selected.
Creators of Peace
Creators of Peace (CoP) is a global women’s peace initiative that was launched in 1991 at the Initiatives of Change conference centre in Caux, Switzerland, by Anna Abdallah Msekwa, a respected politician and trailblazer of women-led organisations in Tanzania. In her inaugural speech she made a call to action to “create peace wherever we are, in our hearts, our homes, our workplace and our community. We all pretend that someone else is the stumbling block … could that someone be myself?
Refugees as Re-Builders™
Refugees as Re-Builders™ (RRB) is an ILM Assured capacity-building training programme by IofC UK which provides innovative, meaningful and relevant learning opportunities for settled refugees.
The RRB™ programme covers the skills, knowledge and practice required to initiate dialogue for social cohesion, create sustainable livelihoods for resilience and apply ethical leadership for just governance. The RRB™ course is designed to strengthen the capability and expertise participants already possess as rebuilders, providing them with the resources and practical tools needed to potentially develop and facilitate workshops within their diaspora communities and countries of origin.
Ethical and values-based principles underpin the course, allowing people of different backgrounds to build trust across the divides of ethnicity, class and religion and develop values-based leadership.
