This event is part of a new series of dialogues organised by the Winchester Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace and Embrace Dialogue, which seek to prompt a multicultural, interdisciplinary, global dialogue about reconciliation.

This is a critical issue today, and a critical approach is needed to address the legacies of long-lasting divisions within and between societies around the world.

Let’s Shake Hands Once Again
In the early days of February, Colombia witnessed an exchange of letters that is no less than a cry to save the country’s peace. The unprecedented aspect of this correspondence is that it has been carried on by the two people responsible for opening the door to the negotiations, and following the path during the four years necessary to reach the signing of the Agreement: Rodrigo Londoño of the FARC – now the ‘Comunes’ party – and former-President Juan Manuel Santos.

ReD: 8 Years of Being Part of the World We Want
ReD is a community, a family full of dreamers, thinkers and learners from all walks of life who give freely of their time to see a change in their lifetime through a culture of dialogue. We look ahead to 2022 with the same lens of curiosity and determination that has brought us this far. The coming election might present a challenge or an opportunity for the peace process in Colombia. The new President and government might seek a new direction, support existing efforts or dismantle what has come before. Whatever the outcome, we have learnt not to stop in the face of adversity but to embrace what comes with honesty, generosity, solidarity, co-responsibility, self-criticism and respect.
