The Trust Factor is a series of events to be held in Washington, DC, October 10-15, 2011, that demonstrate how people from diverse backgrounds have built trust and are collaborating to solve problems in their communities, our nation, and even internationally.
It will explore different locales and perspectives in the nation's capital. The events will be as varied as an interfaith dialogue on Spiritual Traditions as a Foundation for Trustbuilding at Georgetown University; an evening convened by the Sustained Dialogue Campus Network at American University on Trustbuilding Across Generations: Opportunities and Challenges, and a panel discussion by the Calvert Foundation on Redefining our Relationship to Money. A Trustbuilding Workshop will be offered to practitioners in the field.
Highlight of the week is a reception to honor three outstanding Trustbuilders at the community, national and international level on Friday, October 14. The program culminates with Saturday events that include skills-building workshops and a celebratory session for all participants to share new insights and to plan practical steps to carry forward The Trust Factor agenda for Washington, DC.
The Trust Factor is sponsored by Initiatives of Change in partnership with the Center for Community Change, International Peace & Conflict Resolution Program, AU School of International Service, Search for Common Ground on Race, Sustained Dialogue Campus Network, The Calvert Foundation, and The Faith & Politics Institute.
