Dear Colleagues and Friends:
We are pleased to announce that the ICTE is now accepting
applications
for the 2008-09 cycle of its International Guest Program. Many of you
have already met with our International Guests in the past and know
the outstanding individuals we select for this unique opportunity.
For those of you who are not familiar, each year the International
Guest Program welcomes 20-25 human rights leaders and peace educators
primarily from the Global South. These activists come for a 2-3 month
residency in Brooklyn, working within the ICTE community. The program
aims to support each guest's commitment to empowering local
communities in the promotion of tolerance, human rights, respect for
diversity and social justice. Individualized work plans are created
with the guests that involve networking, professional skills
training,
opportunities to present their work, and time to reflect on their
ongoing efforts.
This year, we are placing a special emphasis on "Scholars and
Practitioners in the field of Tolerance Education". Therefore, we are
reaching out to all of you in the field and in academia. Please pass
these guidelines along to your colleagues who you feel are interested
and
qualified for the program. The guidelines are attached to this
e-mail, and can also be found on our website:
http://www.seedsoftolerance.org/fgp.html. The deadline for
applications is January 21st, 2008.
Please circulate this information, and feel free to contact me if you
have any questions.
Thank you,
-- Veronique

ask them to provide wood, prepare tools, assign tasks...
Just call them together and raise in their minds a longing
for the endless sea." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery
