Alumni Projects
Encompass Trust’s flagship programme, the Journey of Understanding, does not end with the ten day workshop. On returning to their home countries, JoU alumni will continue to work with their new friends and the programme facilitators, who also act as Country Representatives for Encompass. They are encouraged to undertake new projects that continue the work they began on their Journeys of Understanding, and spread Encompass’ message of peace through understanding throughout their communities.
