Safe spaces to be open
Conferences, dialogues and events where people can safely step out of their comfort-zones to listen, express, and discover the 'other' – across the world’s divides.
Conferences with a difference
Conferences can be venues for negotiations, or they can be gatherings of people interested in disseminating and exchanging information around a particular theme. Initiatives of Change conferences have a different aim: the transforming power of honest conversations. People participate primarily as themselves rather than as functionaries of institutions, and are free to fully take on board the perspectives of others.
