With: James Offuh, United For Peace Against Conflicts International (UFPACI)
Peace leadership is the rational practice between individuals or a group of people with different opinions to explore each other's perspectives, uncovering a new social intelligence, to release an unprecedented creativity hereby inventing a common future that collectively benefits all and the Planet.
Central to peace leadership is a desire for inclusion and cohesion, driven by authentic communication and deep listening culture, with its quality of listening to learn, and learning to listen from the other's story and life narrative, without criticizing, accusing or condemning, focusing on creating a positive thriving social change.
Experiential definition
The process is a journey of self-discovery towards sustainable collaboration, which invites individuals or more people in that journey to dignity and equality. Human Dignity in James' opinion expresses respect to all Human Being and the EARTH!
What it is about
Integral peace leadership is a proactive and holistic intentional approach of individual and collective action built through the interconnected development of skills and practices in order to address the root cause of hatred, discrimination, and violent conflict to create thriving socio-ecological just change.
