The 2010 Caux Forum focused on remedies. One feature was work towards a Caux Call to Action designed to mobilize an emerging world wide ‘coalition of conscience’ around practical strategies for addressing human security concerns.

The conversation was organized around five urgent themes:

• Healing Memory
  
• Just Governance
  
• Living Sustainably
  
• Inclusive Economics
• Intercultural Understanding

Panel discussions and working sessions were led by experts from both the developed and developing world. Participants included representatives from some of the world’s most troubled regions.

Daily ‘Changemaker’ sessions featured initiatives which are restoring hope to situations of despair: people across the world who are improving governance, healing the wounds of war, strengthening cooperation across religions and cultures; overcoming poverty; and developing effective responses to climate change.  Working sessions gave an opportunity for interaction with experts in a variety of fields, aimed at empowering participants to take creative action.

One focus was the challenge of building trust. Unhealed wounds in our relationships play a crucial role in international negotiations. For over 60 years, Caux has been a venue where people have felt able to bring hurts into the open. Often that has resulted in steps towards healing and reconciliation, sometimes with significant impacts on deadlocked situations.
