Conflict Transformation Workshop for Indian and Tibetan Youth Leaders

A key goal of WISCOMP is to initiate ‘inter-cultural’ conflict transformation workshops for youth leaders from diverse cultures. Using this methodology, the WISCOMP team collaborated with the Tibetan Center for Conflict Resolution to conduct a three-day intensive training for young women and men from Tibet and India. Each participant was carefully selected in order to build strategic relationships between youth leaders living in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The purpose was also to empower them with skills in active nonviolence to deal with local, intercommunity conflicts in the state.

In this context, WISCOMP brought together 30 youth leaders in Dharamsala to:
• Strengthen the historical relationship between Indians and Tibetans;
• Enable the participants to become “role models” for nonviolence and compassion in their communities;
• Facilitate coexistence between the Indian and Tibetan communities and celebrate their diverse traditions.


 



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.
