"... bringing to the fore what is often hidden...."
Important Notes:
1) This list is, and will always be, an incomplete list—because it reflects this writers’ preferences, and because of its very nature (i.e. it represents only a fraction of the countless numbers of “things people can do in the everyday circumstances of their lives” which will contribute to peacebuilding, community revitalization, and ecological sustainability efforts, in their own communities and regions—and in other parts of the world).
2) The “Links” section of this website (the IPCR Initiative website, at www.ipcri.net ), provides starting point links associated with each of these “fields of activity” (In addition, some “fields of activity” have text, excerpts, or commentary from referenced sources).
