True reconciliation is costly.
It means more than pacifying or compromise. It is a challenging process, for both sides, of remembering, repentance, restitution and mutual empowerment. The course concerns both theory and practice.

This course will explore the viability and strategies for non-violent living in our personal lives and global projects.
