The First Meeting
Before the quarterly cadence began, there was a first gathering — the origin point for what would become a recurring practice.
Dialogue Facilitation Training
Banner, verbatim: "Community-led Conflict Transformation through Participatory Action Research (PAR) Project — Dialogue Facilitation Training for Community Dialogue Facilitators — Organized by Eastern Development Initiative (EDI) in collaboration with Life & Peace Institute (LPI)."
Quarterly Review Meeting
The cadence begins in earnest: the first review meeting explicitly framed as quarterly.
Fourth Quarterly Meeting
The fourth session in under four months — a group photo against the same recurring event banner.
Quarterly Review Meeting
The venue moves to East Star Hotel for 2025. An EDI roll-up banner in the room states the organization's mission and six strategic pillars in full — the fullest official self-description found anywhere in the archive.
First Round Quarterly Review Meeting
Nearly a year on, the practice continues under a new naming convention — "rounds" rather than sequential numbers — but the same rhythm.
Second Round Quarterly Review Meeting
The most recent session in the record — banner verbatim: "Inclusive Dialogue · Community Ownership · Sustainable Peace · Lasting Change." Held the day after the Mediation Hub story's government-linkage workshop, at the same hotel.
A note on this draft
Every date and quoted title above is read directly from an on-camera event banner, except Chapter I (no banner, date unknown) and the "same rhythm" framing in Chapter VI (inferred from the recurring naming pattern, not stated outright).
Missing: facilitators' names, first-person testimony, and outcome data. A separate folder of individually-named facilitator portraits exists in the archive but is deliberately not used here pending confirmed consent to publish names and faces.
