and an outstanding, international pool of over
25 expert presenters and facilitators representing leading
training institutes around the world for a unique, historical
opportunity to be part of an ongoing series of capacity building
conferences making a difference in the Middle East - today.
4
days of engaged dialogue and applied
training in proven, effective models and methods that
are innovative, inclusive, collaborative, practical, and culturally
adaptive, intended to equip the next generation of leaders with
concrete, positive, and highly effective, skills to step forward
and create new, inclusive, and democratic social structures and
relations that work for all, and in doing so promote a culture
of peace.
We utilize the conference for this purpose by creating a common
ground that honors diverse perspectives, authentic dialogue, and
earnest deliberation where not only the general public can directly
engage and learn, but where key stakeholders themselves can personally
connect and explore ways to cooperate in sharing and supporting
each others efforts for a larger, common good.
By
design, in cooperation with the National
Reform Agenda of Jordan, and with the encouragment of King Abdullah
II, the Annual International Conference on Transforming Conflict
(TC) is a practical conference intended to empower the individual
in society with necessary skills to take on increased civic participation
and collaborative, proactive leadeship roles in advancing beneficial
social reform and transition.
Among planned outcomes are
individual proficiency for constructively addressing crucial challenges
facing developing societies today, promoting on-going community
based training groups to an expanding number of individuals to
continue practice and application between annual conferences,
and creating a growing resource of educational and training materials
and network support to provide to academic institutions for access
by students and faculty and to encourage inclusion in the formal
curriculums of these systems.
