This block course is intended for people who work in or plan to enter the field of civil conflict transformation, non-violent activism, peacebuilding or conflict-sensitive international cooperation.
Depending on methods and topic of the training, we limit the number of available spaces to a maximum of 16 participants. Register early to reserve your place!
This block contains the trainings Systemic Conflict Analysis, and Designing Peace Projects. It offers a selection of skills and strategies that are key to every work on conflict. First, we provide and practice analysis frameworks that allow the deep understanding of the conflict itself, including drivers and actors, both for conflict and peace. Second, based on this understanding we are able to identify entry points for intervention, changing the nature of the conflict by addressing the key driving factors. This is the base for the design and implementation of resilient and sustainable projects.
These trainings can also be booked separately. As these two trainings complement each other we are offering a 10% discount when they are booked together.
