Successful Inter-religious DPC-training in Pakistan

20 new DPC-facilitators. This is the result of the training of DPC facilitators, held at the Christian Study Centre in Rawalpindi, Pakistan from 12 - 17 July 2008. Participants came from different organisations from all over the country, as well as from different religious communities - Muslim and Christian. At the beginning of the training the question was raised whether DPC-methodology is applicable in the Pakistani context. The conclusion at the end of the training was: Very much so. Participants recognised that DPC offers a methodology which can be easily applied in families, in organisations as well as in relationships between groups that have conflicting views, or in the prevention stages of conflicts. DPC helps preventing to go to violent stages - that was one of the key learnings that participants took home.
