Co-Partner: The Project on Justice in Times of Transition

The Project on Justice in Times of Transition assists leaders in divided societies struggling with conflict, reconciliation and societal change by facilitating direct contact with leaders who have successfully addressed similar challenges in other settings. By mobilizing our international network of seasoned leaders and practitioners to share their experience, we put the Project’s mission into action.

At its core, the Project on Justice in Times of Transition's powerful methodology believes that people can learn from the experience of others and that people can change.  While the Project recognizes that each country will have its own unique historical and cultural experiences, we fundamentally believe that humans share a basic psychological response to conflict, violence, and repression.  Acknowledgement of that profound human experience transcends borders and cultural differences and allows people from disparate countries to connect and see the possibility of peaceful change.

Applying this shared experience methodology, the Project has worked closely with individuals who understand the complicated political and psychological dynamics at play and from their own experiences can provide invaluable guidance and intellectual support to those facing similar problems today. With demand driven and dynamic programming, the Project on Justice in Times of Transition has since 1992 organized over 55 initiatives using this approach.
