30 July was proclaimed as the International Day of Friendship by the UN General Assembly with the idea that friendship between peoples, countries, cultures and individuals can inspire peace efforts and build bridges between communities.
In Coventry we are fortunate to have CAIF, Coventry Association for International Friendship.
Friendship is an ideal outcome following reconciliation between those who have been in conflict.
In the video below, three participants from a workshop organised by Conciliation Resources reflect on the importance of reconciliation for their societies to overcome the legacies of violence, and the challenges faced in promoting it as a means to build peace.
Conciliation Resources is an international organisation committed to stopping violent conflict and creating more peaceful societies.
