These groups, called Cooperation Circles (CCs), are comprised of people representing at least three different religions, traditions or beliefs willing to engage in interfaith dialogue and collaborate on humanitarian efforts in their community. Utilizing this dual strategy approach, URI Cooperation Circles participate in topics including interfaith dialogue, care for individuals in need, educating children, preventing violence against women, improving the environment, resolving conflicts, and negotiating peace among many other local and global key issues. 35 34 18 34 0 0 4640834 3642013 0 0 2835 17 313 -135192 4643982 3506838 678473 1013862 0 0 2172885 1956367 0 0 106199 1177653 870992 4029011 3841221 614971 -334383 15851123 16226950 542085 932044 15309038 15294906 X Founded in 2000, URI is a global NGO with the purpose to promote enduring, daily interfaith cooperation, to end religiously motivated violence and to create cultures of peace, justice, and healing for the Earth. 0 0 2405282 960243 Global Network Development: Our global network of interfaith grassroots activists is working tirelessly to create the world we want to see: a world where people of all faiths, religions, spiritual expressions, and Indigenous traditions are able to live their lives in peace and dignity and where the Earth is treated with equal love and respect.As URI celebrates its 25th anniversary, we are re-committing to its three purpose areas and have outlined a new strategic framework to achieve growth, focus, and impact over the coming five years. URI is a network of over 1,150 Cooperation Circles (CCs) in 113 countries. CCs have at least seven members, and represent at least three different faiths or spiritual traditions. 430583 2093 The Global Council is URI's governing Board of Trustees. Trustees are elected by URI grassroot member CCs from each of the eight regions. The Global Council's primary responsibilities include being the governing and fiduciary body of URI, and coordinating the strategic framework of the organization. The latest framework includes three strategic priorities: Optimizing Network Growth and Connectivity, Facilitating and Supporting Cross-Cultural Learning and Collaboration, and Launching a Coordinated Global Effort to End Violence, particularly religiously motivated violence. 505688 51525 Communication and Education OutreachVisit 2024.uriimpact.org to see the latest programming at URI. As part of our efforts to strengthen the capacity of the URI network to prevent violence, we have conducted trainings on the Health Approach in Nigeria, India, and Honduras. As a result of these training sessions, we have seen an enthusiastic response from Network members who participated in the training who have then gone on to conduct additional training sessions, spreading the health approach to others in their communities. To deepen our URI Purpose-focused and Principle-informed collective impact, we began to create new cross-regional and global learning pathways adaptable to all regions, creating opportunities for enriched skill-building and learning for collaborative action. URI network members were invited to interactive online participant-centered journeys in NEW WORKSHOPS: beginning with 3hrs of New CC and Member Orientations, through six 3hr Introductions to key URI competency areas*, into a 12hr Learning-in-Action Series over four months for multiple CC teams culminating in local team projects. 84223 84223 3425776 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 0
