International Center for Ethno-Religious Mediation

ICERM develops alternative methods of preventing and resolving ethnic and religious conflicts, and fosters a culture of peace in countries around the world through the following five key programs:

Research: We create and maintain a global conflict alert database through the conflict monitoring networks, and develop new conflict prevention and resolution tools through the journal of living together, conflict early warning and response mechanism, and other publications.
Education and Training: We educate people about ethnic and religious conflicts through the ICERM radioproject, web-based forums, peace education programs, international conference on ethnic and religious conflict resolution and peacebuilding, world youth convention on ethnic and religious harmony, lectures, sports and artistic activities, peace exchange program, retreats and publications, and we train new mediators and facilitators through classroom and e-learning modalities.
Expert Consultation: We provide consultation & advisement services, monitoring and evaluation, post-conflict investigation and reporting, election observation and assistance to formal and informal leadership.
Dialogue and Mediation: We facilitate communication and dialogue through the living together movement and the pray for peace initiative, and assist parties to reach a mutually satisfactory solution through unbiased, culturally-sensitive, confidential, regionally-costed and expeditious mediation processes.
Rapid Response Projects: We provide moral, material and financial support to the victims of ethnic and religious violence.
