International Peace-Builders' Forum (IPF)

19 - 23 July 2016: Peacebuilding among people displaced by violence and war

The world’s ongoing crisis of displaced peoples is the largest mass migration of human beings since World War I.The International Peacebuilders’ Forum 2016 will seek to understand and support the ongoing human needs of people working for peace whether professionally or in their daily lives.Professional peace-workers, those expelled from their homes by war, former and current refugees are all invited to take part in the forum. By exploring our common experiences participants in the 2016 IPF will come to better understand our relationship to conflict, our personal and professional journeys, and each other as we seek shared solutions to our everyday struggles.

The format of the conference will range from keynote speakers to intimate forums all centering on the specific issues that surround migration and diaspora. Our team at Caux will provide a safe environment for learning, growth, deep sharing and action.

This event is co-organized by the CAUX-Initiatives of Change Foundation and the Institute for Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding.
