INTRA-INTERGENERATIONAL DIALOGUE

The “Intra-Intergenerational Dialogue Approach”- IIDA is an integral component of the Gwizamahoro Program 2100. It is structured around six classical guiding questions: When? Why? Who dialogues with whom? About what? Where? How?

The approach aims at transforming the factors and conditions that are harmful to sustainable peace and life. In this way, dialogue is educational and transformative. Thus, through training and dialogue sessions, each generation becomes aware and collectively conducts a critical and deliberative reflection in order to achieve a collective emancipation from the factors (logic, beliefs, practices, etc.) which destroy peace and life: “Deconstruct together what destroyed us”. It is the conscious action emerging from dialogue sessions held during bridge periods, to identify the harmful that must not pass from one generation to another: what to break with and what must continue to be promoted in the service of life and lasting peace.

From this perspective, according to this dialogic approach, each generation isinvested with a triple mission:
(1) identify the factors and mechanisms harmful to peace and life.
(2) Deconstruct factors and mechanisms that are harmful to peace and life.
At this level, each generation faces a crucial choice: “Either accept to sacrifice the past in favor of the present and the future, or sacrifice the present and the future in favor of the past.”
(3) Invent and promote through an action plan new mechanisms and practices in favor of peace and life.
