What is the Weavers Program?
The Pax Christi Weavers is a multicultural conflict resolution program rooted in the spirituality of nonviolence. The program provides participants with the tools to respond appropriately to new challenges that arise as a result of the increased diversity and cultural influences within our communities. It is our mission to assist groups in
discovering how to "weave" the people and issues of their local environment together.
The Weavers Team is a multicultural and geographically diverse group of individuals, who share expertise in the areas of nonviolence, interpersonal communication skills, transformative conflict resolution skills and multiculturalism. The team's mission is to accompany communities in the process of identifying their specific needs and then tailoring the program to meet those needs. It is our mission "to contribute to the building of a culture of peace in communities that seek to transform conflicts which have a racial or multicultural component."
