What Reconciliation Means to me:

...laying the foundational building block for reconciliation on the political and economic levels.

"The Belonging Matters framework is one of the best approaches I know of. It builds that sense of belonging and inclusion for everyone, laying the foundational building block for reconciliation on the political and economic levels."

Jessie Sutherland’s work in presenting worldview skillbuilding is essential...

In my experience in the realm of conflict resolution—whether it be interpersonal, community, organizational, institutional, or systemically based—I am often confronted with the lack of understanding that there are different ways of viewing the world and life.

Jessie Sutherland’s work in presenting worldview skillbuilding is essential for laying the foundation for transformation to relationships that are mutual and genuine.
