Interreligious Activities and Initiatives
Recipeace-Cultivating Peace in 21st Century
India, with its tradition of pluralism and history of sectarian violence, is a particularly challenging environment within which to pursue any level of communication to resolve a conflict situation is still matter of concern for many. By 2020 India will be the youngest country in the world. Hence it is inevitable that youth will play a major role to bring change and peace in the country. In order to give the youth a direction to achieve this objective, a four days capacity building program will be organized in the state of Jammu and Kashmir for assistant professors, social workers, and peace activists. The program will aim to provide the participants with the tools and techniques to build interreligious and inter-faith tolerance and cooperation through various means. These tools and techniques will enable the participants to guide the youth further to achieve the objective of peaceful co-existence. This training will include modules covering inter-faith peacebuilding and its role in social reconstruction, as well as sections on conflict analysis; non-violent communication and dialogue; peacebuilding interventions; guidelines (Recipeace) for training and group building exercises.
