peacemaking | Initiatives of Change Canada

IofC International President Omnia Marzouk invites you to join in:
'I believe that inspired voices and ideas are needed from throughout in the network, not just those present at the Global Assembly, for us to discern the next steps.

I urge you to participate with us in this way...... I look forward to hearing your input – whether you are in Caux, Ho Chi Minh City, Barinivka, Nairobi, Panchgani, Rio, Richmond, Melbourne or somewhere else in the world.

The week will provide us with essential time for collective thinking on our future together. In particular, it will be a moment to discern and define specific directions and common actions for collaboration within our wide network.'

Join the conversation.
