About this event
We invite you to the ninth Critical Dialogue on Reconciliation. We will talk about the nexus between Mine Action (De-mining and associated sustainable development activities) and Reconciliation, in particular looking at the case of Humanicemos DH, a Mine Action Organisation created by former FARC members in Colombia.
This event is part of a series of dialogues organised by the Winchester Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace, Embrace Dialogue, and from now onwards the OxPeace (Oxford Network of Peace Studies) which seek to prompt a multicultural, interdisciplinary, global dialogue about reconciliation.
We will continue inviting practitioners, academics and decision-makers to share their research, policies and activities around reconciliation processes. This is a critical issue today, and a critical approach is needed to address the legacies of long-lasting divisions within and between societies around the world.
