The 10 day training envisages bringing on board 20 practitioners working in the fields of peace building, development, humanitarian relief and human rights in the Horn, Eastern and Southern Africa regions in an effort aimed at building their capacities to deal constructively with conflict situations and at the same time providing them with a forum for sharing experiences and learning from others working under similar environments.
The training will cover a range of peace building themes starting from the simple understanding of concepts to the more complex and controversial question of healing and reconciliation after violent experiences.
