Forum Event
Healing the Wounds of the Past
17 – 22 July 2023
Caux, Switzerland

After decades in which conflict has gradually reduced around the world, the tide has turned. Conflict is increasing. 

This forum will focus on a fundamental cause of this trend: the broken relationships caused by unhealed wounds of the past – personal, national and international.

Forum Event
Trust and Integrity in Democracy
23 – 26 July 2023
Caux, Switzerland

Trustworthiness, tolerance, and transparency are key to supporting the revival of good governance and integrity in public life. These are easy to advocate but so much harder to personally embrace and embody in practice, in social and institutional settings.

How can we see a resurgence of trust in our political systems? And what can ordinary citizens do?
