A basic introduction to the tools and principles of peace and conflict work

Online-training with live-sessions & self-paced learning.

The 2-week training will offer valuable information and practices, relevant both for those new to peacebuilding, as well as those already working in or experienced with peacebuilding. While week 1 places its focus on the foundations of peacebuilding (both from a theoretical and practical perspective), week 2 is mostly dedicated to developing soft-skills like communication and understanding team dynamics in cross-cultural contexts.

Who can register for this training?

  • New professionals working in peacebuilding, as well as those looking for a refresher or looking to cover topics they are not yet experienced in.
  • Those interested in stepping into or learning more about peacebuilding.
