The Theories of David Bohm in Practice - Prof Simon Keyes in conversation with Prof Mohammed Abu-Nimer

The University of Winchester’s Centre of Religion, Reconciliation and Peace (CRRP) was established in 2010 and is dedicated to helping make a tangible difference to those affected by structural violence and armed conflict, our work is particularly focussed on examining the crucial links between theory and practice in religious peacebuilding and reconciliation processes, and how each informs, challenges and enhances the other.

We strongly believe in the power of collaboration, and the importance of cultural and contextual forms of peacebuilding, and we work with academic partners; secular, religious and faith-based organisations; and government and multi-national institutions worldwide. We offer training and consultancy in many areas of peacebuilding and reconciliation, and highly commended post-graduate courses.
