The Women's WORLD Program in Italy: Memory and Culture in the Life Histories of Kosovar Women. In 1999, the Associazione Orlando and Women's WORLD began a partnership project to develop an oral archive, using cassette tape recorders, that would preserve the memories and culture of Albanian women and enable them to be heard in the rest of the world. The project was originally designed to focus on women in Albania, women in Kosovo, and Albanian women who had emigrated to Italy.

Dialogue to Action Initiative
Dialogue to Action Initiative is a web-based program which connects organizers, facilitators and researchers of intergroup dialogue with each other, and with dialogue-related news, resources and ideas. The program allows people to talk deeply and personally about some of the major issues and realities that divide them. Dialogues are being organized in communities across the country on such topics as race and racism, the current crisis, abortion, violence in schools and communities, and often involve people who represent groups that are in conflict.
