The Work Week is a unique opportunity to spend a week in the Initiatives of Change conference centre in Caux, working on a voluntary basis with a team from different countries and generations.

There have been regular annual work weeks to prepare the house for the International Caux Conferences. The rest of the year, the house is let out to a hotel school. And so, since their needs are a little different, we have to move furniture and re-arrange some of the rooms for the conferences, plus many other opportunities. The workweek is from 16-24 June.

Each year, an emminent person who has given a lead in values-based business initiatives is invited to deliver the Caux Lecture during the TIGE conference. In 2010 Mr R Gopalakrishnan executive director of Tata Sons Limited, chairman of Rallis India and of Advinus Therapeutics, and vice chairman of Tata Chemicals, will deliver the lecture. He is a director on the boards of several Tata companies, among them Tata Motors, Tata Power and Tata Teleservices.

De l’ambiance feutrée de l’université d’Oxford à la violence corrosive de Cisjordanie, la destinée de Lucy Austin, pacifiste passionnée, s’est cristallisée lorsqu’elle a rencontré puis épousé un camarade étudiant, Sari Nusseibeh, pacifiste aussi, mais palestinien et aujourd’hui président de l’université Al-Quds, à Jérusalem-Est. Elle a fondé et dirige l’ONG MEND (Middle East Non Violence and Democracy.

One of the panelists at the recent Caux Forum for Human Security, Lucy Nusseibeh’s own life has been a story of building bridges – initially the cultural divide between upper middle class British society and her husband’s circumstances as a dispossessed Palestinian aristocrat.
