Projects involve a cycle of praxis in which the  process of each project is inseparable from its outcome.  For instance  the process of research, using participatory and collaborative  processes, involves community development, education and empowerment.   Dissemination of this research, in turn, brings together and engages  communities, validates peacebuilders and provides further tools for  their work.<\/p>\n<p>Research and projects also contribute to InterChange\u2019s identity as an  organization that is both international and intensely local. Projects  are international in scope but are rooted at the local level, taking  their shape from and contributing to the local context.<\/p>\n<p>Project themes emerge from the interests of members. Two themes that  InterChange members have identified as priorities are Cultural  Approaches to Peacebuilding and Diaspora Dialogues. Both of these themes  have the capacity to link and engage members from around the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>InterChange research and projects fundamentally define and solidify the organization and its work.
