AdvisoryGroup

The Advisory Group provides guidance on the core objectives, and catalyzes innovative ideas on the critical questions at the heart of the Enacting Global Transformation Collaborative Initiative. The Advisory Group comprises scholars, policy makers and practitioners from the University of Oxford, and from universities, research and policy institutes, and international organisations around the world who have provided inputs to and/or collaborated with this initiative and with Theatre of Transformation. This collaborative initiative is hosted by the Centre for International Studies, in partnership with The Theatre of Transformation Academy. The initiative also collaborates in Oxford with CCW, OxPeace, SEESOX, OTJR, and War and Peace Studies at Oxford. In Geneva the Initiative collaborates with The Initiative for Inclusive Peace and Transition (IPTI) and the Geneva Centre for Security Policy and Geneva Academy. The Advisory Group will hold its first brief meeting on 24 May, following the first conference of the Initiative, entitled, ‘Testimonies of Transformation in a World in Turmoil.’
