The Forgiveness Project

The Forgiveness Project was launched in 2004. Its mission is to explore “forgiveness, reconciliation and conflict resolution through real-life human experience”. Using personal stories and exhibitions it aims to open up dialogue and promote understanding at local, national and international level.

The Project uses three techniques to underpin its work:

Awareness: raise the debate by collecting and sharing personal stories (and images);
Education: encourage and empower people to explore the nature of forgiveness and alternatives to conflict and revenge;
Inspiration: engage civil society, as well as transform hearts and minds.

The group explains: “We work in prisons, schools, faith communities, and with any group who want to explore the nature of forgiveness whether in the wider political context or within their own lives”.

The Project encourages people to support its work through such activities as: submitting a story about reconciliation, conflict resolution or anything which is relevant to its remit; and hiring its exhibition on forgiveness.

A Campaign for Forgiveness Research

A Campaign for Forgiveness Research supports “scientific studies that can deepen our understanding of forgiveness and begin the process of building many different roads to reconciliation.”

The group is involved in funding a range of research projects on forgiveness amongst individuals, families and nations. Themes include: ‘The Relationship Between Forgiveness and Health’; ‘Models and Theories of Forgiveness’; ‘Forgiveness Among Nations’ and ‘Corporate Culture, Downsizing and Forgiveness’. It has also compiled a ‘Forgiveness Bibliography’ which gives a comprehensive list of forgiveness and forgiveness-related scientific literature. The bibliography is available to download in PDF format.

The Campaign invites people “to join our community of forgiveness and be a part of a growing effort to promote more forgiveness around the world.”
