Topics covered in this workshop

Making change on the social issue(s) you care about: Participants will identify which social issue (or issues) they are most passionate about. They will come up with a vision for what it will look like when that issue (or issues) has been solved. And they will figure out how to use their unique skills and abilities to make change on the issue(s) they care about.

Getting connected to resources and networks: Participants will learn about peace heroes past and present to give them both inspiration and ideas. Participants will get connected to organizations that are working specifically to make change on the social issue(s) they care about. And they will discover resources to help them use their unique skills and abilities to make change on the social issue(s) they care about.

Taking action for peace: In the last section, I’ll help participants set their internal compass to guide them on their peacebuilding journey, to help them in difficult times, and to make key decisions on the direction of their peacebuilding journeys. They will map next steps in their journey and we will talk about ways we can work together and support each other moving forward in their peacebuilding journies.

Methodology

• During workshop sessions: Live workshop sessions will include presentation of tools and approaches for building peace together with interactive activities to help participants apply learning. Workshop sessions may be contextualized to best meet the needs of participants.
• After workshop sessions: Participants will be given practical activities to do after each session to apply learning. The facilitator will also share short articles, videos and other content for participants to review after live sessions.

Contextualization: All trainings are tailored to the interests and needs of each group and adapted to be relevant to the context from where participants live. To make these adjustments and integrate contextual elements to the training-workshop we use information shared by host organizations in preparation for the training-workshop and from participants during the workshop. If you would like specific topics to be integrated you can discuss this with us in our free consultation.

Student/participant workload: For each of the live sessions, participants should expect to do 1.5 hours of readings and practical activities. Each particiant will prepare a brief presentation for the final session based on learning from the course.
