is the traditional Quaker practice of encouraging exchange, cooperation, education, and relationship amongst partners and participants in projects, overseas or in Canada. Lessons learned through our grassroots experience inform policy and education work in Canada. Generally speaking, projects are designed to have long-term results and develop self-reliance, as well as to respond to practical needs. Using Quaker practice and in worshipful discernment, QPC provides concrete assistance and engages in policy dialogue towards peaceful, sustainable communities worldwide. QPC's work and experience is shared with Quakers and other people through education and partnership-building. In this way, QPC hopes to contribute to the social transformation necessary to achieve their goal that one day all people might be free from suffering, persecution and repression, and instead enjoy their rights to dignity, sustainable livelihoods, social inclusion and expression.
