Based in Boston, Massachusetts, the International Center for Conciliation is a small nonprofit active in international affairs. It engages with local leaders and organizations across North America, North Africa, Western Europe, the Middle East, and Asia to address conflicts that persist due to historical grievances. Through its training and facilitated exercises, it helps groups with deep-rooted tensions examine their past, collective memories, and factors shaping their identities, in order to outline feasible paths for cooperative action. In recent years, ICFC has moved from emphasizing peace-building to cultivating cooperation and interdependence that crosses cultural and political boundaries. The organization aims to equip participants to navigate uncertain futures by creating a framework for community preparedness that could bolster resilience in regions historically affected by conflict.
