Reconciliation Networking

In 2006 the General Assembly of the United Nations explicitly stated that reconciliation processes are particularly necessary and urgent in countries and regions of the world having suffered, or which are suffering, from situations of conflict that have affected and divided societies in their various internal, national and international facets and therefore decided to proclaim 2009 the International Year of Reconciliation (A/61/L.22).

As the S.E.R. Foundation's activities focus on reconciliation, the Foundation initiated an "Action Plan" for the Reconciliation year 2009. In accordance with the wide understanding of reconciliation, the Action Plan of the Foundation encompassed various fields of life and society; Action Plan 2009

For the projects that were registered on the webpage of S.E.R's affiliated organisation, Global Balance, see
