A:...As part of networking, the idea was to really get the idea of coexistence out to a larger group of people, both at the community level, but also at the national level through policy. One of the analogies that has been made is the environmental movement. The founders of TCI very much wanted TCI to be a catalyst for a larger movement of coexistence for a different understanding of how people interact with each other in an effort to reduce violent conflict internationally. We kind of looked at the environmental movement for inspiration.
