OpenEdge Transforming Conflict developed in 2015 from the collaborations and visions of Andy Mason and Sarri Bater, two scholar-practitioners with extensive experience in non-violent conflict transformation, peace building, reconciliation, and Nonviolent Communication in the UK and internationally. They felt increasingly bound by the restrictions of traditional approaches to conflict and development thinking, and wanted to create their own vehicle to fund and run conflict transformation projects. 

OpenEdge Transforming Conflict registered as a UK Charity in January 2018, Registered Charity Number 1176903.
Charitable Objects:
For the public benefit, OpenEdge – Transforming Conflict will work to advance the prevention, reduction and transformation of violence and violent conflict in any part of the world with:
  • Anyone affected by direct and/or structural violence (in the community or workplace)
  • Individuals and groups who work with those affected by violence and/or violent conflict (e.g. staff of NGO’s, government agencies or organisations)
  • Those whose activities impact and/or influence violence and violent conflict (e.g. academics, policy makers, policy implementers, armed actors)
​Through a combination of scholarship, research, practical expertise, fund-raising, project funding and management, OpenEdge Transforming Conflict will guide, train, coach, facilitate, and support participants, colleagues and partners in developing their understanding, choices and actions regarding violence and violent conflict both in the UK and internationally.
