Initiatives for Change - www.iofc.ch

The Caux Initiatives of Change Foundation's vision is a just, peaceful and sustainable world in which people act from a sense of global interdependence and responsibility. International and local training and conferences are organised and coordinated, bringing together a true diversity of people from around the globe to engage effectively and innovatively in the promotion of trust, ethical leadership, sustainable living and human security. In all its activities, IofC seeks to create a confidential space free from judgment, where individuals can speak freely regardless of their cultural, spiritual, social or economic background.

Individuals and organizations are encouraged to act according to a common set of human values. This creates a strong basis for true dialogue, common decision-making and self-development. The Foundation’s core values include the absolute respect for human dignity as well as truthfulness, solidarity and care at every level of personal and public life. Silent reflection is recommended as a means to access creativity and inspiration. Personal and global change is understood to be the result of individuals having the power and the responsibility to self-reflect and align their actions with their values, thus ‘being the change’ they want to see in the world.
