The Business and Economy programme would like to highlight two exciting events coming up later this month. On Thursday 19th of May we will be launching a new programme called Collaboration Circles with a discussion focused on moving beyond gender stereotypes and supporting effective and inclusive team work. Then, a week later, on Thursday 26th we will have our Business Circle, addressing "Leadership Essentials". Participants will exchange views and experiences in order to establish models for the most effective forms of leadership.
In other news, since March we have been delighted to provide Business Planning, Training and Fundraising support to two IofC client groups who’ve been involved in the Agenda for Reconciliation programme. This is widening the activity range of the Business and Economy programme by offering hands-on support which is reflective of both IofC values and collaboration between two individual IofC programmes.

Prof. Barry Hart, a pioneer in Trauma, Identity and Conflict Studies at the Eastern Mennonite University, USA, and former IofC International Council member, recently gave an online talk on Trauma Awareness and Peacebuilding to alumni of the Qualities and Strategies of Peacemakers (QSP) course, which was very well received. The video and audio recordings are available now.
It was one of a series of monthly events for QSP alumni to engage with ‘live’ peacemakers (as opposed to the ‘filmed’ peacemakers whom they have seen during the course).
The May QSP course is now fully booked, but there is still space in the next one starting on 6 June 2022 (click here). |

| The new Refugees as Re-Builders Advanced Level course has now started. This coming Saturday will be the first content session of the Advanced Level, in which participants will be building on what they have already learnt, and thinking about how they can apply the knowledge and skills they have gained to their own rebuilding projects.
We are also moving towards the launch of the RRB Curriculum, which we will be marking with an exciting hybrid event on Saturday 16 July. Alumni, trainers and Faculty members of the course will be sharing RRB’s progress, achievements and vision for the future.
We will also be hosting an event on Climate and Migration at St Ethelburga's on Monday the 20th of June, World Refugee Day. Contact rrb@iofc.org if you are interested; places are limited. |

Qualities and Strategies of Peacemakers
Qualities & Strategies of Peacemakers (QSP-online) is a course of five modules, each based on a film about outstanding peacemakers. The films show examples of reconciliation after conflict in a variety of contexts: inter-national, inter-religious, inter-ethnic and post-colonial. After an introduction and viewing of the film, participants take part in an interactive analysis facilitated by Dr Omnia Marzouk and/or Peter Riddell.
