Everyday Peace Indicators Summer Training

Are you or your organization seeking to enhance your proficiency with community engagement methods, grounded in participation, co-creation, and local knowledge? Everyday Peace Indicators (EPI) offers an opportunity to develop actionable skills in participatory research, project design, monitoring, evaluation, engagement, and learning (DMEEL) through our 2025 Online Training.

EPI empowers communities in peacebuilding settings by gathering local knowledge to inform effective action and policy. Our rigorous, bottom-up methodology identifies and measures community perspectives on peace, reconciliation, justice, coexistence, and other key issues, enabling local voices to shape the design and evaluation of peacebuilding projects.
