I participated in the "Unarmed Accompaniment" dialogue...It was my first time posting to an on-line dialogue!!!
The richness of this experience is immeasurable. But more than just the experience, the dialogue really deepened my knowledge and understanding on the tactics, "Unarmed Accompaniment". I came to the dialogue with a state of mind, I finished with a world of knowledge.
Specifically, I gained a deeper understanding of the term, "Community Accompaniment'. I realised that the comings and goings of our Field Team Members (all expatriates) in a small village in Sri Lanka, where I was based, had the added benefit of accompaying the the entire community, with our international presence.
Great learning!
