OpenEdge is currently working on creating diverse income streams for sustaining our endeavours in the UK and overseas. 
Your donations can impact lives in many ways.

If we are to have meaningful impact in our work, it is essential for us to target our efforts at multiple levels and entry points. Your donations help us transform 
1)  personal behaviours and actions
2) structures and systems (that generate the actions), and
3) underlying assumptions and beliefs that justify violent structures, actions and behaviours. 

​Some outcomes can be quick and direct, and some are part of a longer process. Impacts people who have worked with us have shared:
  • relieved, strengthened, hopeful,inspired, encouraged, courageous
  • ​felt they and their experience matters
  • making sense of experiences they couldn't articulate -can understand themselves
  • ​more confident and empowered, able to show themselves more and are more clear on what they want to say to the world.
  • being conscious of when they are minimising, code switching, facing dominant group defensiveness, reductionism etc and have tools and capacities to respond to these.
  • ​​moved into continuous collective grieving as alternative to blame and shame, and a way to get to creative powerful responses (rather than being stuck in pain and reactivity)
  • articulating and enacting their causes and needs beyond problematising individuals, 
  •  become more powerful at engaging white communities in systemic consciousness  beyond defensiveness and fragility and  making different choices at individual, structural and cultural levels.
  • being accompanied, less alone, and building more support systems for collective trauma
  • moving  beyond representation as a way of thinking, structuring, actioning and measuring diversity.​

Much mainstream peace work is based upon pre-existing assumptions which predetermine what peace should look like. OpenEdge seeks to leave these assumptions behind and support a more emancipatory peace building that is concerned with what people might choose if they were free from systemic thinking practices, and could create their own peace.
