Topics covered in this workshop

Components of a great peacebuilding strategic plan: Participants will learn different approaches to creating a peacebuilding strategic plan, discuss key elements of a strategic plan and review examples of great strategic plans. They will review and discuss key tasks that need to be completed prior to carrying out a strategic planning process. 

Step-by-step process to make a peacebuilding strategic plan: Participants will be presented with an peacebuilding strategic planning process that enhances creativity and innovation. They will be provided with processes, templates, and tools to apply as they practice making a peacebuilding strategic plan.

Developing a project plan and putting it into action: Participants will build out a practical plan for any peace project, initiative or action. They will plan project goals and objectives, map project activities, and discuss sustainability and risk reduction. They will get a crash course in budgeting, fundraising and assessment. They will learn about making a workplan, managing teams, coordinating projects, project promotion, and other elements of putting a plan into action. Then they will apply the tools and processes they have learned to make a sample project plan either to apply in an actual peace project or to develop just for practice.

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.
