Africa is in Renaisance

Looking out over Lake Geneva from an altitude of 1050 meters above sea level, the Caux Palace – Conference and Seminar Centre can accommodate up to 450 people. In 1946, the former Caux-Palace Hotel became an international meeting place, thanks to the generous contributions in time, talent and money of countless volunteers and supporters. 

In July 2018, I participated in the Caux conferences for the second year in a row.  This time, I was part of the organizing team for the conference on Just Governance. I worked effectively as technical support.
My tasks gave me a privileged access to different people, participants or resource people. Those fortuitous encounters were an opportunity for me to share my experiences, learn from others and work at fostering human security through networking and discussing the best ways of tackling conflicts, division, radicalism and other challenges.

It is thanks to an idea that has became a reality, that Initiatives and Change of the Quebec City region, welcomed Robert Lalonde on Tuesday, November 13th last year. What else could be said about the man who expressed his wish to see the world at peace?

There was nothing out of the ordinary until we met the group they were facilitating!
