Dismantling Divisive Narratives: IFED’s Call to Action for Inclusive Societies

The community of Family Life Professionals paid rapt attention as the main speaker, Mr. Praise Fowowe, took the stage to unravel the complexities of ‘The Family Systems Approach to Building Inclusive Societies’.

The impactful event, held on 17th August 2023, made a headway with transformative insights, challenging conventional beliefs, engaging icebreakers and meaningful conversations on fostering inclusivity, equality, and unity.

As an unconventional thinker, Fowowe’s reputation preceded him, and the audience’s expectations were exceeded as he delved into the theme with unparalleled depth.

Drawing on his extensive experience, he confronted prevailing assumptions head-on, questioning the feasibility of a singular religious, racial, or cultural dominance leading to global peace.

With thought-provoking scenarios, he dismantled the illusion that such dominance could ensure harmony, pointing out the potential for exploitation and chaos within belief systems.

Fowowe’s poignant inquiries left a lasting impact: “Would the entire world be peaceful if it were Christian or Muslim? What if the world were solely white or black?”

He delivered resolute answers, asserting that genuine peace transcends surface affiliations and appearances, delving into the intricate dynamics of human interaction.

At the heart of ‘The Family Systems Approach To Building Inclusive Societies’ was a compelling call to action – to embrace narratives that propel inclusivity and rebuff divisive beliefs.

Fowowe, a visionary thinker and creator of the family systems engineering model, skillfully dismantled the influence of narratives designed for personal gain, narratives that perpetuate inequality and sow division.

He also underscored the importance of confronting these narratives and creating environments encouraging unity, understanding, and shared values.

A noteworthy addition to the event was the participation of two distinguished panellists.

They shared some valuable nuggets, which enriched the conversation, offering a holistic exploration of the multifaceted dimensions of building inclusive societies.

Having unfolded against the backdrop of a world in need of change, ‘The Family Systems Approach To Building Inclusive Societies’ became a transformative experience for attendees.

The event inspired conversations that transcended boundaries, igniting discussions and commitments to champion unity and inclusivity on both personal and societal levels.
