International Center for Ethno-Religious Mediation

As an essential part of the education and dialogue programs, the purpose of ICERM Radio is to educate people about ethnic and religious conflicts, and to create opportunities for interethnic and interreligious exchanges, communication and dialogue. Through programming that informs, educates, engages, mediates, and heals, ICERM Radio promotes positive interaction among people of different tribes, ethnicities, races, and religious persuasions; helps to increase tolerance and acceptance; and supports sustainable peace in the most vulnerable and conflict regions of the world. ICERM Radio is a pragmatic, proactive and positive response to the frequent, incessant and violent ethnic and religious conflicts around the world. Ethno-religious war constitutes one of the most devastating threats to peace, political stabilization, economic growth and security. As a result, thousands of innocent victims, including children, students and women have been killed in recent times, and many properties have been destroyed. With ensuing political tensions on the rise, economic activities being disrupted, insecurity and fears of the unknown increasing, people, particularly young people and women, are faced with greater uncertainty about their future. Recent tribal, ethnic, racial, and religious violence and the terrorist attacks in many parts of the world require a special and engaging peace initiative and intervention. As a "bridge builder", ICERM Radio aims to help restore peace to the most volatile and violent regions of the world. Conceived to be a technological instrument of change, reconciliation and peace, ICERM Radio hopes to inspire a new way of thinking, living and behaving. ICERM Radio is intended to operate as a global peace network dedicated to promoting interethnic and interreligious cooperation, featuring programs that inform, educate, engage, mediate, and heal; including News, Lectures, Dialogue (Let's Talk About It), Documentary Interviews, Book Reviews, and Music (I Am Healed).
