Part One: Tomorrow's Peacemakers

Based in Bangkok, Thailand, the Asian Muslim Action Network, or AMAN, is an organization of progressive Muslims in Asia seeking to respond to the numerous challenges that people in Asia are confronting on an everyday basis. Today we visit Thailand and the Asian Muslim action network's school of peace studies and conflict resolution, where for 3 weeks each year peace and human rights activists from throughout Asia convene to learn more about peace, justice, conflict-resolution, and about each other.

 

Part Two: Tomorrow's Peacemakers

Although the students attending AMAN's school of peace studies and conflict resolution may come from more than 14 countries throughout Asia, they all hope to take the same peace building tools they've learned back to their homelands. But many of the most important lessons, according to the students themselves, are learned outside of the classroom, as they learn to respect and engage with each other's cultures and beliefs.
