Titled
Envisioning Futures: Dialogue and Conflict Transformation, a key focus
of this year’s workshop was the role of leadership in transforming
conflict. Seeking to build leadership among multiple stakeholders, the
workshop explored new leadership models that the framework of Conflict
Transformation offers.
Wiscomp
was established as part of the efforts of the Foundation for Universal Responsibility
to build a culture of coexistence and nonviolence that is gender-sensitive
and inclusive. A not-for-profit, non-sectarian, non-denominational organization,
the Foundation promotes universal responsibility in a manner that celebrates
a diversity of beleifs and practices, and that contributes to a global ethic
of nonviolence, coexistence and gender equity. The work of the Foundation
is global in its reach and transcends nationalist political agendas.
