Future Worlds Center: A pioneer in peace initiatives: Difference between revisions

[[Harry Anastasiou|Harry]] and [[Yiannis Laouris|Yiannis]] have coordinated and trained several early peace initiatives. Together with virtually all members of the  [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]], they are credited for the training of over 4,000 citizens in peace and conflict resolution, summarised in the map below.  This historical map was developed by [[Yiannis Laouris]] using the results of a workshop of the Group, which took place on 4 October 1997 <ref>[. The purpose of the workshop was to summarize the activities of the group. It was presented publicly in the occasion of a celebration organized by the 15 foreign embassies in Cyprus to honor the members of the group<ref>Laouris, Yiannis and Laouri, Romina (2008) 'Can Information and Mobile Technologies Serve to Close the Economic, Educational, Digital, and Social gaps and Accelerate Development?', World Futures, 64:4, 254 — 275 See pg 273-275</ref>. They served as initiators and/or trainers of almost a dozen of those groups. In these early trainings, they have applied [[Interactive Management]], the methodology they have learned from their participation in the [[Cyprus Conflict Resolution Trainers Group]] and especially from [[Benjamin Broome]], a student of [[John N. Warfield]]. [[Interactive Management]] is the predecessor of what later became knows as [[Structured Democratic Dialogue]].
