Working for Peace in the Midst of Conflict: Is it for me?

Upcoming courses:  26-28 June 2009; 28-29 November 2009

Overview
This is a full-scale simulation course for individuals who feel they are ready for assessment, and do not need level 2 training. Put into teams and sent straight into the simulation ‘field’ as the ‘EU team’ you will experience what this sort of work entails. Teams are set objectives for the weekend and will meet with civil society representatives and local and international actors in order to achieve these objectives. You will be assigned an ‘observer’ for the weekend who will give you personal feedback and advice on further training needs and opportunities for professional development.

See also their courses on Introduction to Working in Conflict,  Core Skills for Working in Conflict, and Introduction to Election Observation, Monitoring and Documenting Human Rights Violations, and Introduction to Civilian Protection courses, which also use simulations as well as other training methods.
