Regional Networks

 

The International Section established Regional Networks to support our members and colleagues around the world, and to promote conflict resolution capacity building.   We encourage ACR members and non-members alike to join together to expand our field worldwide. The goal of the Regional Networks is to provide practitioners and conflict resolution organizations across the globe with mechanisms to strengthen networking, facilitate the exchange of ideas and experience, and promote a culture of conflict resolution in particular geographic regions.

 

Network Scope:  There are eight active Networks focusing on the following regions:  Caribbean, Central America, Eastern Europe,  India, Mexico, Middle East, South America and Southern Africa.   Each Network may focus on specific countries within a region, and on one or more substantive area of conflict resolution.

 

Network Structure: Each Network has one or two Network Coordinators (NCs) who are members of the Regional Networks Committee.  NCs serve for one year, but may be reappointed for additional terms by the Chair of the International Section.  The Regional Networks Committee Chair serves for two years, and is a member of the Section’s Advisory Council.   Each NC defines the geographic and substantive scope of his or her particular Network, with input from the Committee Chair and/or Advisory Council as needed.  Networks consist of at least 20 individual and/or organizational members, with no maximum number of participants.

 

Network Activities:  In 2008, the Networks continue to focus on three priorities:

  • identifying and liaising with key organizations and individuals working in the field of conflict resolution in a specified region, as defined by the NC;
  • creating appropriate mechanism for network participants and other ACR members to be in conversation with and learn from those colleagues and organizations in each network; and
  • developing and implementing initiatives that support the development of the field in each region through conferences, newsletters, educational programs or other exchanges.

Network Participation:  Any ACR member is welcome to join one or more Networks.  The Section also encourages non-member practitioners from across the globe to participate in the Networks to enjoy the benefits offered and to learn more about the advantages of ACR membership.
