CPT is a faith-based group that seeks for all delegations participants who are interested in human rights work, committed to nonviolence, and willing to participate in team worship and reflection. The delegation experience usually culminates in a nonviolent public witness that challenges structural violence. Delegates should have plans to share about the trip upon return to their home communities and congregations. For international delegations, the cost covers roundtrip airfare from a designated U.S. or Canadian city, all on-ground travel, two meals a day, simple accommodations, and all honorariums and delegation fees.
