The focus of our program is reconciliation in all its forms. We seek solutions and encourage our listeners and supporters to look at old problems through new eyes.  

Seeing with new eyes is an approach which tries to take a fresh look at something, bypassing the pattern recognition and seeing the issue with a different perspective. Such an approach is critical if we are to work and walk together on the road of reconciliation.

 We well know that leadership matters. It is essential in every sector, in every community, and in every country. In these times of unprecedented change, organizations, communities, and governments need more leaders and now more than ever we need leaders who can unite and mobilize others in a common cause.
