As part of IFIT and the Ford Foundation’s Global Initiative on Polarization, a high-level two-day convening took place in New York City entitled “Worlds Apart: Lessons on Polarization from Global Leaders”.
The event gathered 250+ U.S. social, political, media and business leaders and four global peacemakers from IFIT’s network who shared critical lessons from their experience in shifting extreme states of polarization:
– Hon. Ms. Ouided Bouchamaoui (Tunisia)
– General Óscar Naranjo (Colombia)
– Rev. Dr. Samuel Kobia (Kenya)
– Hon. Ms. Monica McWilliams (UK)
Together with our media partner, Economist Impact, we have created a special webpage that includes a mix of audio, visual and written material on pathways to depolarization: http://impact.economist.com/projects/path-to-depolarization
We invite you to watch this video on how to overcome polarization.
