WHAT WE BELIEVE |
| We believe that coexistence is not a static situation but rather a condition that is safe for differences to exist within society without fear. If disputes arise, there should be mechanisms in place to resolve them in a nonviolent manner. Thus, building coexistence includes ensuring human security, building bridges between communities, working towards fair institutions, and developing abilities to resolve differences when they arise. This requires self-empowered communities and individuals learning to work together towards creating a society safe for diversity.

ADVOCATING FOR INSTITUTIONAL AND POLICY CHANGE |
| The creation of fair institutions in a country that is multiethnic is essential if coexistence is to prevail. We believe that good governance, strengthening and decentralising local government, promotion of democratic development as well as human rights practices is essential in reconciliation efforts and sustainable peace building.

FCE TSUNAMI WORK |
| The 26th of December 2004 saw Sri Lanka bear the brunt of Mother Nature when a series of giant waves crashed into its Northern, Eastern and Southern shores.
