IofC Switzerland provides a safe and privileged space to inspire, equip and connect individuals, groups and organisations from around the globe to engage effectively and innovatively in trustbuilding, ethical leadership, sustainable living and human security. IofC Switzerland is the Swiss body of Initiatives of Change International (IofC).ICA:UKdraws on more than 50 years of global experience in human, community and organisational development. As part of the ICA International network of 30 organisations across five continents, ICA:UK focuses on the human factor in world development, developing, sharing and applying effective facilitation methods designed to release human potential and give people greater control over their own development.Both organizations started their collaboration in 2011, with the involvement of ICA:UK with theCaux Forum,providing design and facilitation support through the Caux Forum Design Team. In 2014, the collaboration extended with the first Group Facilitation Methods course being run jointly in Geneva. The partnership between IofC Switzerland and ICA:UK goes beyond this joint venture. Both organizations have in common that they aim to achieve global and social change, and have complementary approaches. IofC Switzerland focuses on the personal change process and ICA focuses on the way groups work together.
