Centre for Peace and Reconciliation Studies

The mission of the Centre for Peace and Reconciliation Studies (CPRS) is to contribute to the deeper understanding and promotion of processes of reconciliation and forgiveness by non-violent means at all levels throughout the world.

Through our activities as a centre of teaching, research and related activities we seek to empower those at the grass-roots, national and international levels who are striving to transform violent and destructive conflict situations by non-violent means.

Underpinning our approach is the basic premise that within the context of struggles to achieve peace and reconciliation at whatever level, the transformative power of non-violence has been under-estimated and under-researched.
