Is mediation an appropriate training tool for peace building?
It is our great pleasure to invite you to a panel discussion to be held on 18 June, 2018. It will be hosted by the ARGE Bildungsmanagement, in the framework of PeaceTraining.eu project which is funded by the European Commission under Horizon 2020 (no 700583). The program is set up to bring together peace training initiatives and work towards a common understanding of European contributions towards training in the field of conflict prevention and peace building.

Distinguished speakers with different nationalities, cultural backgrounds, professional roles and mother tongues will be gathering to discuss key issues in fostering peace in different formats and through different phases of pre – during, and post conflict escalations. There will be robust discussions around several concerns of providing training for those who engage in peace and conflict resolution activities during times of escalation in various regions, and in the aftermath of escalation when dealing with long term effects, such as trauma, resettling in society, preventing and countering violent extremism, and peace keeping missions – all linked to projecting stability for concerned persons, people, regions and beyond.
The aim of the panel discussion is to share the experiences of different stakeholders and their various ideas on how to prepare for important issues which arise during field work. The event will bring together distinguished speakers who want to have dialogue with the audience about their experiences and concerns and how one can teach stakeholders to be prepared for their future engagements.
Experts from diverse regions, field work and peace training programmes will get in dialogue with the audience:
