Becoming Involved

The network is an informal association of individuals and organisations representing various shades of opinion, faiths and professions united by a will to strive individually and collectively for the promotion of reconciliation within and across national boundaries. The process is open and inclusive and there are no formal criteria for membership. 

To join the network by becoming involved in an existing project or to initiate your own collaboration through us, contact (replace "#" with "@"):
