ACTION FOR LIFE

"Be the change you want to see in the world"

Mahatma Gandhi

Aim:

Action for Life aims to develop a new generation of change makers equipped with integrity and faith who are committed to transformation in the world by starting with themselves.

What is Action for Life?

Action for Life (AfL) is a seven-month leadership development program. The course uses a combination of interactive training and fieldwork to expand the capacity of each participant. Distinctively, participants and staff come from different generations, nations, and faiths to form a diverse learning and working community that represents an increasingly globalised world.

An international faculty delivers a curriculum focused on team-building, cross-cultural communication, conflict transformation and program development and management.

Action for Life is facilitated by Initiatives of Change, and draws on its 60 years of considerable experience in international reconciliation and peace building. It is a movement of people from all races and faiths who work towards change, locally and globally, by starting with change in their own lives.

Action for Life 4 concluded on 9 May 2009 in Cambodia. Plans are currently underway for Action for Life 5. Please check back here for updates on the development of that initiative.
