Seminar: Inclusive Peacebuilding Locally and Globally

April 10th is the 15th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. As yet, we do not have a programme for sharing. Permeating boundaries and challenging conventional views through Active Dialogue will be the major focus of this seminar. The keynote speaker is Dr Olivier Urbain, Director of Toda Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research, Tokyo. He will propose original and new ideas concerning peace building and dialogue, based on his research of Dr Daisaka Ikeda's philosophy and practice Daisaku Ikeda's Philosophy of Peace: Inner Transformation (similarities with theories and practices of Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow) Dialogue (similarities between Ikeda's approach and that of Jurgen Habermas' concept of communicative rationality and Global Citizenship, a result of interconnectiveness of the other dimensions. Ikeda's philosophy has been applied mostly in cultural and structural peace building.
