The Canadian Culture of Peace Program’s article “Drafting a Protocol To Guide Our Conversions and Relationships” is a very interesting read and includes a reference list worth checking out.
It seems to me that a culture of peace could inform us on how to approach change. A culture of peace could inform our everyday work - are we not all, in some way, creating, supporting, empowering, or managing change with people or systems? Is business and indeed life not a series of changes?
What could be added, from my perspective, is a focus on bringing a culture of peace to ourselves first - practicing honesty, respect and understanding with our own thinking. I find this practice closes the gap between myself and others and so contributes to a culture of peace. I hear the truth in Byron Katie’s quote, “The first act of war is an act of defense.” Peace starts with my own thoughts.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, DJ! Peace DOES start within. This is the foundational principle behind the new international women’s organization I am launching, Universal Circle of Women (more at http://www.universalcircleofwomen.com ) When we are peace with ourselves, that peace flows out into the world around us, and slowly, but surely, we create change in the world by being conscious of our words and actions. Compassion and Love first is a rule I make an effort to live by.
