QUALITIES & STRATEGIES OF PEACEMAKERS - NOVEMBER ONLINE COURSE Researcher Ebtsam Abdullah Hizam AL-JADRI, recently completed our Qualities and Strategies of Peacemakers course. He told us: “I believe these films form an integrated series, like a string of pearls, collectively embodying the qualities of a peacemaker and illustrating how the reconciliation process unfolds in conflict and post-conflict communities.” Qualities and Strategies of Peacemakers (QSP-online) is a course 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. We are running another online course from 18th – 22nd November 2024. Each session will run from 5-7pm (BST) The course is free of charge, but voluntary donations to extend the programme are greatly appreciated.
