Centre for Ethics in Medicine & Society (CEMS)

Centre for Ethics and Medicine in Society (CEMS) is an independent body engaged in research, education and practice in relation to the ethical aspects of medicine, health care and the biological sciences. It works broadly and collaboratively with individuals and organisations around the world from clinical, academic, educational and community backgrounds to enhance understanding and to build capacity in these fields.

CEMS engages in a range of educational activities, including vocational training, provision of on-line teaching resources, and support for educational activities in various institutions around the world.

It collaborates with PRAXIS Australia in the offering of online training courses  and individualised courses for practitioners and researchers with specific educational needs.

Dialogue, Empathic Engagement & Peacebuilding (DEEP) Network

 https://globaldeepnetwork.org/

We are a global, culturally diverse, and volunteer-based community of change-makers. The words— Dialogue, Empathy, Ecology, and Peace— constituting the name of the network reflect our ways of being, thinking, knowing, and acting. Our focus is on bridging divides, fostering peace, nonviolence and intercultural understanding, promoting decolonizing and decoloniality as well as repairing the ecological rift between humans and nature. We do this through a range of dialogue, empathy-building, ecological and social regenerative projects, educational programs, community engagements, and other initiatives for change.

 Our activities and projects focus on:

· Community Engagement: We facilitate intercultural dialogue, elicitive conflict transformation, peace building, ecological regeneration, and decolonizing projects involving, and primarily in partnership with, communities and relevant stake-holders.

· Education: We organize, conduct and host workshops, courses, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, and performances to enhance knowledge, skills, and capacity for individuals, organizations and communities in areas related to dialogue, decoloniality, conflict transformation, peacebuilding and ecology.

· Research: We carry out research that enhances understanding of conflict, peace practices, decoloniality, ecological regeneration and leads to innovative philosophies, policies and programs.

· Advocacy: We promote and advocate dialogue, empathic engagement, conflict transformation, peace ecology, decolonizing and the empowerment of people and communities that have been marginalized to foster a peaceful, nonviolent and ecologically regenerative world.

· Collaborative Networking: We liaise with other organizations to continually add depth and breadth to our understanding and activism. Our ultimate aim is to build a global network for change

Centre for Dialogue

Founded in 2005, the Centre for Dialogue specialises in the theory, method and practice of dialogue across communities, ideologies, cultures, religions, nations and civilisations, the Centre for Dialogue. Fostering research, education and training, policy development and community engagement locally, nationally and internationally, the Centre for Dialogue was welcomed by the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan as ‘com[ing] at a period of sharply increasing intolerance, extremism and violence...that is why initiatives such as your Centre for Dialogue are so important.

Committed to a substantial program of fundamental and applied research, community projects and policy development, the Centre for Dialogue's key mission is to produce new knowledge of high social impact. That is, new knowledge of considerable value to policy development and community engagement in different contexts, such as governments, international agencies and a range of Australian and international philanthropic, professional and community organisations. Through its various dialogue and community projects and programs, the Centre for Dialogue also contributes to the strengthening of cultural diversity, multiculturalism, community cohesion, peace building and social justice in Australia as well as internationally.
