PLOWSHARES INSTITUTE Address Plowshares <strong>Institute</strong>, Box 243, 809 Hopmeadow St., Simsbury, CT 06070, UK Phone (860) 651-4304 Fax (860) 651-4305 Web www.plowsharesinstitute.org E-Mail plowshares@plowsharesinstitute.org Category Dialogue MISSION STATEMENT Plowshares <strong>Institute</strong> contributes to a more just, sustainable, and peaceful world community through research and education, service to developing communities, and innovative training in conflict transformation and peacebuilding. Research identifies critical social, economic, and religious issues that threaten the harmony and sustainability of a humane society and presents possible options for change. Education exposes the "non-poor" to global interdependence and energizes them to address issues of injustice within their organizations and individual lifestyles. Training of local decision makers and leaders equips them to teach their constituencies to use the energy of conflict for positive structural change and to intervene in the problems that threaten their communities. Partnerships with international service organizations protect human rights, enhance democratic participation, and expand options for sustainable development. Founding year 1981 BACKGROUND AND ACTIVITIES � Transforming conflicts through peacebuilding initiatives Conflict transformation training based on moral, spiritual, and cultural values equips community leaders with skills to constructively address conflicts. � Developing innovative approaches to conflict and peace education Plowshares generates new ideas and approaches and disseminates these to others in the peacebuilding and education fields through research and writing. � Increasing domestic awareness of global interdependence Plowshares staff provide speaking, teaching, and preaching opportunities to educate civic and religious groups. Faithbased approaches emphasize global interdependence, visions for global peace, and training in peacebuilding and the case method. � Decision makers in project areas are exposed to new and effective approaches to resolving conflict. In a group of some 40 participants, almost all significantly widen their community network; most are able to become a “mediating presence” in their areas of influence, modelling new approaches to conflict transformation and peacebuilding; and a smaller number from each session will move to dedicate considerable time to teach others the skills and approaches. Currently, more than 500 community and religious leaders participate in Plowshares-based conflict transformation seminars each year in the U.S. and overseas, and some 50 voluntarily make major time commitments to active peacebuilding roles in mediation and/or teaching. � Southeast Asia: In response to escalating violence and terrorism in Indonesia, Plowshares and the Indonesian Ministry
of Justice and Human Rights are training 3,600 senior leaders from the government and civil society to more effectively address conflict, protect human rights, and promote democratic participation. Plowshares partners with the Center for Empowering Reconciliation with Peace to address ethnic and religious conflict in volatile areas. Collaboration with the Center and other regional organizations has equipped more than 400 regional peacebuilders, published the Peace Skills curriculum, and sent multi-faith teams to conflicted areas.
