On Sunday, members of the Committee on Consensus and Reconciliation concluded a specialized training session, attended by the Head of the Abductees’ Mothers Association and an advocacy consultant. The training aimed to enhance the committee’s capacity to develop and implement community reconciliation initiatives.
During the session, participants reviewed a detailed action plan for long-term reconciliation initiatives, which included operational mechanisms and implementation steps for the “Burned Tanker Victims” initiative. Discussions also addressed coordination strategies with relevant authorities and decision-makers to ensure lasting community impact and achieve restorative justice for victims and their families.
The training program also included a session on writing success stories and documenting lessons learned, with the goal of supporting media efforts and highlighting victims’ experiences and initiatives that promote social cohesion and trust-building.
This training is part of the SPARK project, implemented by the Abductees’ Mothers Association in partnership with SAM for Rights and Liberties, and funded by the U.S.-based DT Institute. It reflects a commitment to developing the skills of committee members, strengthening their role in supporting community reconciliation pathways, and documenting inspiring experiences that contribute to recovery and peacebuilding.
