Dear Nathan,

 

Given your interest in conflict transformation and ADR, and focus on the Asian region, I would like to bring your attention to the upcoming Asia Pacific Mediation Forum (APMF) not-for-profit event; "The Asia Pacific Mediation Leadership Summit - From Talk To Action", taking place in Bangkok 2 - 4 December 2011, which brings together mediation and ADR specialists from various fields; including family mediation, commercial and workplace mediation, court-annexed mediation, conflict and community mediation, climate change and disaster response mediation and various cross-sectional themes, like for example human rights, cross-cultural dynamics and women in mediation.

Do have a look at my profile and the Mediation Summit's link (www.mediation-leadership.com), feel free to email me or send me a message when having any questions regarding participation and also do feel free to forward the information about our Summit to your colleagues.

Kind regards,

Dennis Bours

Thanks Nathan. No, I do not know the lady you mentioned from Kenya. I worked with some Sudanese who had been granted refugee status by the UNHCR branch office in Nigeria. We worked to help them at the voluntary repatriation stage as a way of finding durable solutions to their plight. I have also followed the Sudanese conflict especially the ICJ issue and the position of the AU in relation to crimes against humanity in Dafur.
Like I said, the issue of religious conflict is threatening the fabric that has knit Nigeria together as a nation because the killings resulting therefrom, though localized in Northern Nigeria affect people from accross the nation and could lead to reprisals. This remains a challenge to peace in the nation. Anyway, thanks for sharing.

Great work Nathan. Keep it up. Nigeria regularly deals with issues of social pathologies rooted in poverty and manifesting as religious intolerance and violent conflict. Hope to benefit from your work.
Evelyn.

Nathan,

A quick note for now! You are in my thoughts and would love to hear about how your research is going on Building Consciousness of Peace. Theme is great! Do send me thoughts once in a while. (Just discovered this initiative and I try to commit to be active on posting things on the site about my life and work here). I am now reading the book you recommended on Shapeshifting and grapple with working with a big UN agency. Institutional shapeshifting is something I'd like to explore more.

Hug for now, Ina
