What kind of a house would you want? 3. HZT Activities This section provides information about HZT’s activities which Peace Clubs should know as well as their duties and responsibilities. These activities will be coordinated and implemented, mostly, by Peace Clubs hence the importance of including them in this training module. The following are brief explanations of the activities. a) Nhimbes / Collaborative Tolerance and Development Platforms Nhimbe is a neutral platform where people from diverse social-economic and political groupings come together to work as a community for the common good of their community or village. Nhimbe follows the traditional practice of bringing together people to work as a family under the direction of a traditional leader. Heal Zimbabwe hosts nhimbes to promote a culture of working together, a sense of family and community. The process contributes towards improved community cohesion and reduced conflicts and violence. The Peace Clubs are expected to mobilize community members to jointly carry out community development and peacebuilding tasks. As people work together, they interact across their socio-economic and political differences which build tolerance and promote celebration of diversity. Local traditional leaders, Councillors, and Pastors are especially needed to grace these initiatives because they unify people outside socio-economic and political backgrounds. 4 ©Heal Zim 2016
