New Zealand-based peacebuilder Wayne Marriott <\/strong>has been recognized as the Resolution Institute<\/a> Michael Klug Awardee for 2019. He is a 2018 graduate of Eastern Mennonite University\u2019s Center for Justice and Peacebuilding<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriott was specifically noted for his support to the community after the Christchurch mosque shootings earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Michael Klug Award was established in 2009 to honor \u201cany person or persons who have contributed to the peaceful resolution of conflict in the best interests of the community,\u201d according to their website<\/a>. The Resolution Institute is a network of \u201cmediators, arbitrators, expert determiners, adjudicators, restorative justice practitioners and other dispute resolution professionals\u201d across New Zealand and Australia, with a main headquarters in Wellington, New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriott, who provides private conflict coaching, mediation, and other reconciliation services from his practice, Fleetwood Peacebuilders<\/a>, in Christchurch, said he was humbled by the award.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis type of recognition from my peers tells me we are not alone in our endeavour,\u201d Marriott said. \u201cPeacebuilding can be a lonely existence, so right now I\u2019m feeling connected to my colleagues. It has created a momentum of camaraderie that I\u2019d like to maintain.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\tMarriott has worked in the field of conflict resolution and mediation for 19 years. He pursued graduate studies at EMU \u201cto extend my capability in the field and add to my exposure to other cultures and worldviews,\u201d he said. \u201cEMU offered a tremendous opportunity to learn with a multi-national and multi-faith cohort while learning from some of the best peacebuilders in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theories and practices he learned in his studies at EMU helped to guide his response to the March 15, 2019, Christchurch shootings, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lone gunman killed 51 people were killed and injured 49, including one of Marriott\u2019s acquaintances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriott was returning to his office after an appointment when his son, a police officer, called to say he was responding to the shooting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI realised the apparent danger that my son was about to experience. I began to take the event very personally,\u201d Marriott said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the gunman was arrested that day, Marriott began to formulate how to respond constructively to the tragedy. To that end, he reached out to those he knew personally who had been injured or affected by the attacks, volunteered his services to advocacy and activist groups, and got involved with a refugee and immigrant support network. He also helped organize a visit with two Kenyan peace scholars, who met with the local branch of the international peace agency Initiatives of Change<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being contacted by a Muslim lawyer, Marriott got connected with the advocacy group Just Community, and has participated in \u201cthe beginning of lengthy and challenging conversations with various arms of government,\u201d including the Minister of Ethnic Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriott also brought a little piece of Harrisonburg to Christchurch \u2013 by distributing the Welcome Your Neighbor signs<\/a>, which say in English, Arabic, Maori, Fijian, Samoan and Spanish: No matter where you\u2019re from, we\u2019re glad you\u2019re our neighbor.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marriott said that peacebuilding and support efforts after a traumatic event are necessary long after much of the broader community has forgotten the incident. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI continue to be active in building peace in my community following the attacks. My stance is to remain independent of the formal structures, being available to the community and agencies as a consultant \u2013 especially within the context of long-term recovery strategies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
