Published purpose
This project aims to equip community and national level actors to develop appropriate mechanisms and education interventions to strengthen community resilience, reduce tensions connected to religious differences and promote a greater spirit of unity and reconciliation in Sri Lanka. This is done through research, capacity building activities and the development of a regional module on mitigation strategies. Targeted communities include Colombo, Ampara, Galle, Mannar and Jaffna. This project includes a component to expand this approach to Myanmar and lay the foundation for sharing good practices more broadly in the region in the future.
