Annual Policy Forum and Colloquium
Inclusive Security's annual Colloquium begins at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government with a weeklong executive education program, public events, and meetings. Our participants then travel to Washington, DC, where they strategize and draft recommendations in conjunction with Inclusive Security staff on ways to increase women's participation and engagement in peace-building processes.
A vital aspect of our colloquium is brokering relationships among participants and policy shapers. In individual meetings, small group discussions, and public fora, participants meet with experts, elected and appointed government officials, directors of non-governmental organizations, and journalists. One of the highlights of colloquium is the annual Inclusive Security Policy Forum. Each January, Policy Forum brings together hundreds of policy shapers from the Washington, DC area for focused discussions on the year's topic.
Each colloquium includes 18 to 25 leaders from conflict areas all over the world. Past participants have attended from such diverse regions as Afghanistan, Bolivia, Bosnia, Colombia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Kashmir, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Liberia, Mongolia, Nepal, Palestine, the Philippines, Rwanda, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and Uganda.
