Transform Life-threatening Divides into Life-giving Relationships
Mission
Bring together resources and thinkers from across disciplines, cultures, religions, and eras for the purpose of bridging the divides between
a) the religious sciences and secular sciences,
b) the hard sciences and soft sciences and
c) academic inquiry and practical application.
ACACIA’s Human Resource Development Program is being carried out through two projects:
1- Julaybeeb Institute
2- Parwaz – Transforming Mental Healthcare Through a Human-Centered, Technology-Powered Model
Goals/Objectives
To cultivate an inner attitude that sees the “alien” Other as a source of hope and renewal, rather than as a threat to the Self.
To identify, promote and disseminate those ideas and resources in different Traditions that promote acceptance of opposing views, understanding among difference and unapologetic affirmation of all human beings as the Creation of God.
To provide a “shared ground” platform for collective thought and action among students and communities for collective inquiry among individuals and communities—across Traditions and positions.
To provide mentoring and scholarships to students pursuing higher studies in the Humanities and Social Sciences—i.e. Literature, Languages/Linguistics, History, Religious Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Economics, etc.
To encourage students to become active community members and responsible citizens making a positive contribution to collective well-being of Society.
