CAMBODIAN-THAI EXCHANGE PROGRAM (CTEP) 2011

A. Background:
Long time of historical conflict and stories passed from generation to generation created hatred, prejudice and unhealthy relationship among people of the two neighboring countries, Cambodia and Thailand. Current clashes at the border have made things even worse and this needs immediate proper actions to be taken.
Initiatives of Change Association (ICA) and Thai Volunteer Service (TVS) have a similar vision to see the future of our two countries related to peace. Both organizations, with the financial supports from American Friend Service Committee, had the first meeting from 22nd - 23rd August, 2010, in Bangkok to discuss the joint programs they could do together to maintain peace building and friendship among the two countries' youth, which is a cross-border dialogue, namely Cambodian Thai Exchange Program (CTEP). They finally developed a shared vision, mission and priority activities.
