Dear Reach Out participants, organizers and coordinators;

 

As we approach the 2nd worksop of this project, many challenges and opportunities remain ahead of us:
 
We have a challenge because the world today continues to witness cultural clashes, tensions and divides

 

But we present an opportunity because we're a diverse, yet tolerant group that promotes constructive dialogue

 

We have a challenge because wars continue to spread, and peace processes are breaking apart

 

But we present an opportunity, because we are putting forward non-violent approaches to conflict

 

We have a challenge because we're distant, and have limited occasions to meet up and work together

 

But we present an opportunity to have a hard working team that launched a website and arranged face-to-face meetings whenever possible to keep us closer

 

We have a challenge when our resources become limited, forcing us to either slow down or sometimes stop

 

But we present an opportunity because we have the most valuable resource that no one can take away from us: our education

 

..and as we get more challenges, we continue to face them with our valuable opportunities, allowing ourselves to move forward. And this second workshop may only be a beginning for many things to come. So let's be ready to seize the

opportunity, and make a change. We're definitely up to it.

 

It's time to reach out!

 

See you in Tunisia;
