HOW CAN WE HELP OUR SOCIETY TO HEAL? : An Inter religious dialogue for social healing

Sri Lankan society following 26 years of armed conflict is in need of healing. Religious communities can play a strong role in this regard but may have not done enough in collaboration to meet this need. Walpola Rahula Institute in collaboration with the Sarvodaya Institute of Higher Learning will be conducting a “Dialogue for Social Healing” – an inter religious dialogue workshop to support social healing. The program aims to support participants to engage in dialogue to understand each other, their practices for healing and to deepen shared understanding of need & strategies to support social healing. The program will also include training on related topics such as conflicts and conflict transformation, dialogue, trauma and healing.
