Creators of Peace UK is part of Creators of Peace International and we are active in more than 55 countries including the UK, France, Switzerland, Sweden, Australia, Kenya, Burundi, Sudan, Cameroon, New Zealand and the Solomon Islands.
We invite women across the globe to join our Peace Circles which take place over weekends or as a series of weekly meetings. The programme is facilitated in the style of a âtalking circleâ where all voices are heard respectfully and a safe space is established to allow individuals to explore diverse perspectives. Group sizes are usually a maximum of 12 women.
Topics explored include:
- What is peace?
- Inner peace
- Concerns and hopes
- Inner listening
- What builds or destroys peace
- The power of forgiveness
- Qualities and strategies of a peacemaker
- Listening to others
- Trustbuilding
- Putting peace into action.
The initiative is open to women from all backgrounds, ages and cultures who want to become more empowered, inspired, hopeful and effective in the current global climate. We organise Peace Circles throughout the year across the country and also run regular social events and talks.
We are supported by Initiatives of Change UK with a small grant, donations and in-kind support. This allows us to offer Peace Circle programmes to everyone.
