Canadian Culture of Peace Program Stakeholder Network Design - This design document is offered to build on the foundational principles that the UN determined and to prepare for a CCOPP operations / marketing document that describes how the CCOPP programme is to be operated and promoted. This document attempts to answer several key questions necessary for building a culture of peace. Why is an organization peaceful or violent? How should peace organizations organize themselves? How should peace organizations relate to each other? What kind of expertise should the CCOPP develop? In the following operations / marketing document the following questions will be asked. What opportunities should the CCOPP pursue? How will the CCOPP grow? How will the CCOPP measure its success? Click here for HTML or Microsoft Word document.
Can Peace Be Designed? A Powerpoint Presentation developed by Paul W. Nelson, CCOPP Director of Organizational Development. "There is an ecology to the way people cluster and communicate. This makes new tools for building culture available to us. Satish Kumar explained the profound connection that we all have that few of us recognize. I asked him, "Given this profound connection, how do we build communities?" He said that communities are really only about relationships. It is profound knowledge for those who want to build a culture of peace. Building a healthy culture is about building healthy relationships. If we focus on that, we won't get sidetracked by other matters."
Managing the volume of peace information, and work - How our Canadian Culture of Peace Program organization, and process is evolving.
