Rotary-Carter-Cyprus 2024-25 Peacebuilding Initiative: Difference between revisions

The obstacles submitted by each participant during the induction session served as input for a virtual Structured Democratic Dialogue (vSDD). A vSDD closely resembles a face-to-face session, with two key differences: (i) it is spread across several 2-hour synchronous Zoom sessions, and (ii) participants engage in individual work, such as selecting and sharing their preferences, asynchronously between sessions. The goal is to develop a shared understanding of the Problematique before participants travel to Washington, DC, for the Main Event. Establishing a common language and a shared understanding of how the various obstacles are interconnected will enable participants to propose more targeted and effective actions and interventions through their projects.

To avoid duplication and ensure that the obstacles discussed are current and extend beyond previously identified issues, participants will be encouraged to review selected materials from the digital copies shared during the induction session. Specifically, the Influence Trees of obstacles identified in the 1990s and those following the negative outcome of the Annan Plan Referendum will be shared, presented, and discussed before the first vSDD session.
