Hosts: Colin Craig & Mary Alice Arthur
About: Northern Ireland has had its share of "troubles" and they are still bubbling away under the surface. The Corrymeela Peace Centre has been at the heart of exploring how conflict unfolds and also how to de-escalate it. In this track we will study what they've learned and experience how to put it into practice. We gather together as people from many different backgrounds and experiences. We gather because we wish to be part of the change we need to see in our world Colin says: " It is my experience that we too often ignore the gulf between understanding the need for change and making that change apparent in the world. In committing to change we are also committing to an uncertain future, even if the current one is broken and fractured. Such fractures are often driven by fear: fear of the 'other'; fear of political and religious difference; fear of the loss of power and control, and the fear of having no power and control, or simply a fear of change itself. Our learning strand is designed to help us explore the challenge of change through a Conflict Management lens. Together we will explore a deeper understanding of these root causes and some models that may help generate a more realistic framework for moving forward towards the possibility of transformative change and for a sustainable future to emerge."

What does this mean for my Practice?
