"Beneath the surface of a failed conference, there has emerged a common vision amongst youth, which inspires me to continue doing this work," writes Marcia Lee, a 2009 Caux Scholar from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who attended the conference on climate change.

Caux Scholars Program

Le Caux Scholars Program est un programme de formation en analyse, résolution et transformation des conflits, destiné aux étudiants de niveau licence intéréssés par les questions éthiques. Il se déroule chaque été pendant un mois dans le centre de rencontres internationales d’Initiatives et Changement à Caux, en Suisse.

Il comporte un enseignement sur l’importance de la dimension morale des processus de paix.

Alongside conferences on Human Security, Sustainable Development and the Joint Venture for Middle East Peace, twenty students from five continents participated in the 17th Caux Scholars Program, an academic course on peacebuilding and conflict transformation. Through the one-month course, they studied and worked in community service, discussed and practiced interactive exercises, and presented and analyzed their own conflicts.
