IRD Activities
- Connection Point Dialogues (CP Dialogues)
Connection Point is a forum for open, informal, real-time communication that can humanize distant peoples and expand worldviews to embrace the possibility of peace. In phase one of Connection Point, the ‘our blog’ invites women to seek, discover, and learn about one another and begin to chip away at damaging stereotypes. Phase two of the initiative is the Connection Point Dialogues program, which uses videoconferencing as a platform for discussions between women from Arab, Muslim and Western communities around the world. Basically it is a web-based facilitated dialogue opportunity for women to engage in a cross-cultural learning process, discussing a variety of issues impacting the status of women both in Western societies and in predominantly Arab and Muslim societies.
