Partners

Images and Voices of Hope recognizes the value of robust partnerships and collaborative relationships for leveraging resources, consolidating strengths and achieving meaningful change. IVOH is independent and does not accept funds or support from sources that may limit the autonomy of our program decisions.

Images and Voices of Hope was created through a partnership between three not-for-profit organizations, each of which holds as a core belief that our thoughts generate our world.

Founding Partner: The Visions of a Better World Foundation
A collaborative of people who are committed to using their skills and resources to foster change at an individual, organizational and societal level.

Founding Partner: The Center for Advances in Appreciative Inquiry
A research center within the Center for Business as Agent of World Benefit, in the business school at Case Western Reserve University.

Founding Partner: The Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual Organization
The Brahma Kumaris international network of centers organizes seminars, workshops, dialogues and conversations to provide people with spaces to voice their opinions on critical matters that impact their daily lives. The IVOH - BKWSO partnership is a collective effort to support members of the media, build community, enlighten the mind and nourish the spirit.

Principles of Partnership
Over the years and in the many cities where we have held conversations, IVOH has had many partners. The conversations have had radically different forms and themes. However, they have shared certain principles in common:

• They are based on conversation among those in media.
• They include space for reflection
• They are strength-based, focusing on what we want to create - on what we want more of -- instead of what we don't like in the media climate.
