URI Learning in Action Series

We are happy to share with you two upcoming learning opportunities open to all members of the URI network. Please share the below information with members of your organization / Cooperation Circle. 

After enjoying our Introductory Workshops, we are inviting members of the URI network to apply to become part of the first cohorts of our Learning in Action Series: a sequence of four in depth 3hr workshops to explore and co-create key practices to nurture our movement together towards our collective purpose of promoting interreligious collaboration, ending violence, and creating cultures of peace, justice, and healing.

In this second half of the year, we will be offering two different series: 

a. Peacebuilding through Earth Restoration

Starting Aug 20, 2024

from 6 to 9 AM PDT (Check your time zone here) 

Third Tuesday of the month for 4 months

b. Violence Prevention: Design and Practice  

Starting Aug 28, 2024

from 6 to 9 AM PDT (Check your time zone here)

Fourth Wednesday of the month for 4 months

Each cohort will meet once a month in a 3hr workshop to deepen collective experiential knowledge and practice the skills desired to advance collaborative change across regions and over the long-term. In between monthly sessions, there will be practical tasks to engage with in a local context, while sharing learnings and reflections back with the group. By the end of the series, URI members will be prepared to develop seed funding opportunities and support each other’s practices and resourcing across regions and over time.

To successfully complete the series, you will be expected to:

• Attend 75% of the sessions 

• Have an active participation throughout the series

• Complete all required assignments 

• Apply your learnings to a current or desired project

If you are interested in joining either of the series, we invite you to fill out this form to apply before July 31st.

Please note that your application will be accepted based on your past experience (it will be helpful if you have attended the relevant URI Learning Intro Workshops or alternatively have substantial experience in the field), your upcoming plans or projects in this area, your commitment, and preference will be given to applicants who are applying as teams (of 2 or more).

*This first edition will be held in English only. We are looking forward to offering the series in other languages soon!
