Our work in this
program area embraces the power of communication and storytelling to engage
people, build community, and advance our mission. We seek to tell the stories
of all the projects the Fetzer Institute supports as well as create new
stories of love and forgiveness with traditional and emerging media platforms.
Projects in this
area generally fall into two categories of work:
Media Projects We recognize
storytelling as one of the most powerful means of sharing, engaging, and
inspiring individuals and communities. We seek media projects that offer
innovative approaches to sharing stories and we look for projects that will
reach large numbers of people with messages of love, forgiveness, and compassion
as well as projects that are tailored to a specific audience.

and community life. This work takes place both face to face and online and
supports unique efforts that seek to engage individuals and communities
on issues of deep importance.

In this program
area, we seek to activate the capacity of people, individually and collectively,
to love and forgive. We are dedicated to enhancing action and interaction
that brings the power of love and forgiveness to the center of individual,
organizational, and community life through our many partnerships.
We explore and
support transformation through two interrelated areas of work:
Transforming Ourselves & Our Communities We believe individual
transformation and community transformation are inexorably linked and interdependent.
Our goal here is to help people become world citizens and engaged leaders
who cultivate skills and deepen and embody their capacity to express love
and forgiveness in their relationships, and model these qualities in their
inner and outer lives of service and work. Our current focus is on selected
professions in the social sectors of higher education, business, and politics.

Transforming Our World This area supports
key individuals and organizations that are at the leading edge of conflict
transformation and peacebuilding work. Our goal is to recognize, heal and
transform an emerging global community by broadening the fields of global
leadership and conflict transformation. We seek to deepen the inner, psychological,
spiritual, and cultural dimensions of all the world's citizens.

practice. Learn more about
