Online Course: Deepening our Peace Practice

Peace and conflict work is an evolving field. While practitioners should be equipped with the basic knowledge, skills and attitudes that they need to effectively support the peacebuilding and conflict transformation efforts in specific contexts, they should also be familiar with the current and emerging themes and discourses. This deepening and broadening of perspectives will greatly support to achieving more meaningful and constructive impacts within the communities.

Community Dialogue Processes

The training is designed for practitioners who want to expand and deepen their knowledge in the field of Dialogue, whether working as peacebuilders, development or aid workers, or human rights activists. Understanding how dialogue works, the ability to convene and facilitate dialogue, to design a dialogue process or to manage a dialogue project, are some of the core competences for peace work and other related fields. Training practitioners in dialogue skills and competences is therefore an important task for advancing their work.

Trauma-responsive Project Planning

The course is designed for people who have been working to understand the sources/causes/origins of trauma responses, the diverse impacts of trauma on individuals and collectively, and how those impacts - and responses to them - can sustain or interrupt cycles of harm. After establishing a broad foundational understanding of these dynamics, people can focus on the specific application of that knowledge to project planning and management. Team leaders, individuals working independently, facilitators and trainers, project designers, implementers, and evaluators can all benefit from this course that invites participants to focus trauma-responsiveness on project design and planning.

The Triple Nexus

The course is designed for practitioners from the humanitarian, development cooperation and peacebuilding/conflict transformation fields who are interested in exploring how to jointly work towards sustainable peace and development, thereby improving each of the individual approaches and enabling them to better address multi-faceted challenges in fragile contexts and contexts of conflict. We encourage practitioners from all three fields to register for this shared learning experience.
