Amahoro Amani

The Virtual Forum is a part of the Amahoro Amani Cooperation between Scouts and Guides in Sweden and the Great Lakes region. The cooperation is based on values of peace, dialogue and conflict resolution. Together we work in Scouting, Guiding and Peace Clubs with the method of Amahoro Amani.

"The Amahoro Amani method is a way of changing your society. It enables you to engage in your own community by making you recognise your own abilities to change and influence! The method originates from ideas on peace, community involvement and part taking and is based on the scout method.

The methodology focuses on mutual understanding and is fundamentally based on the notion that only when we understand our own prejudices and norms can we understand and solve conflicts"
