Peacebuilding - Traveling Peace Academy
The URI Traveling Peace Academy (TPA) brings skills training and effectiveness to the new field of interfaith peace building.
We have developed a process focused on building relationships and nourishing our personal creative abilities, even in surroundings of protracted violent or non-violent conflict. This section of the URI Web site will present teachings, learning, and URI training developments. It’s called “Traveling Peace Academy” because we are a global community not located in one country, city or building. We develop interfaith, cross-cultural training sessions that are designed appropriately for local situations.
Our unique training methodologies are informed by the Preamble, Purpose and Principles of URI and the practices of Moral Imagination developed by renowned peace studies scholar Prof. John Paul Lederach of the University of Notre Dame and Eastern Mennonite University.
The program is developing in several regions of the world; 2010 training sessions will be taking place in the Philippines, Bangladesh, India and Sri Lanka.
TPA principles, effective practices, and resources will be shared in this TPA homepage as links, written articles and videos. Consultations in preparation for actual training sessions will be scheduled as funding grows for the program.
