Project:
The BTI is seeking to work with a number of persons connected directly with the BTI and through their schools, toward the end of building capacity for restorative justice, religion and conflict transformation, and track-two diplomacy. We are looking to highlight work related to the following areas: a) the Decade to Overcome Violence of the World Council of Churches; b) issues of Inter-Religious Understanding and Dialogue; c) issues of Restorative Justice (in possible association with the Center for Restorative Justice); and d) on conflict transformation so as to create opportunities for mutual learning and concrete skill-building in this field, and to connect practitioners and activists with others interested in putting conflict resolution into action.
