Even in the midst of destruction, social and political conflict can develop forces of positive change, when people engage with each other constructively and together seek inclusive and peaceful ways to address the grievances and issues that divide them. We bring people in conflict together. We enable and support learning processes that inspire the development of new perspectives, relationships and behaviour, thus opening possibilities for addressing conflict and finding ways of living together peacefully. Based on our understanding of each conflict context, we seek to respond adaptively to conflict-specific needs and opportunities as they evolve. At the same time, we remain committed to the following principles, which inform and guide our work.
