Peacebuilding means overcoming violence and establishing peaceful relationships. Peace education, on the other hand, aims to eliminate discrimination and develop behaviors with the knowledge and value for individuals, societies, and institutions to live together. It may be possible to reach a society in which disadvantaged groups are strengthened, economic development, and social justice is present only when these two concepts work together. In such a demanding process, civil society plays a transformative role in society
Project managers Dagmar Nolden and Cora Bieß from Berghof Foundation will facilitate the workshop focusing on the basic concepts in the peace and conflict resolution literature. The role of concepts such as discrimination, violence, and privilege in peacebuilding will be discussed with the participants. The discussions in the workshop aim to contribute to the individual and institutional activities of civil society workers and to develop insight into how these concepts can be used in building peace in society.
- The two-day workshop will be on 25-26th of January, Monday and Tuesday between 2.00-5.30 PM via Zoom.
- The language of the workshops will be in English with the simultaneous translation into Turkish.
- It will be a participatory interactive workshop with group studies and discussion.
- Participation in the workshop is limited to 30 people.
- The deadline for applications is Wednesday, January 20 at 6.00 PM.
