A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY / MULTI-CULTURAL CONFERENCE that has received support from Former President Clinton, Former President Yeltsin, St. Petersburg Governor Jakovlev, endorsed by over 80 leading-edge organizations and universities internationally, and part of the Hague Appeal for Peace Civil Society Calendar. - OPEN TO ALL
INTENT and FOCUS: The ICR Conference offers an open forum for many perspectives and approaches, exploring conflict transformation within diverse contexts, including: arts/creativity, cross-cultural/ethnic, ecology/environment, economics/business, education, gender, global/regional conflict, health/healing arts, human rights, organizational/community, psychotherapy, and transpersonal/spiritual. Focus is on all aspects of conflict, from the intrapersonal - to the interpersonal - to relationships between groups, organizations, cultures, and societies - and ultimately between us and other species. Many opportunities are provided for intensive dialogues on theory and perceptions of conflict and transformation, sharing programs and curriculums, practical skills training, networking and collaboration, and a powerful intentional community experience. In addition to the variety of topics addressed are emphases on dynamics of "The Other," Terrorism, Trauma, and issues in regions of conflict.
ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING During The 2006 ICR Conference:
1) Parallel youth conference: 3rd Annual International Youth Conference on
"The Ecology of War and Peace"
2) Following the ICR Conference an intensive International Training in
Trauma Treatment is held for relief workers from regions of conflict.
PARTICIPATION: Participants have come from over 65 countries and all continents, providing excellent networking opportunities. The program attracts key stakeholders in their respective societies, some from both sides of existing conflicts, who can model and teach these skills to many others.
