Women in Peace Mediation Course, 24 - 28 November 2015, Istanbul

The process of attaining sustainable peace requires the inclusion of the entire society. This cannot be achieved if women, who bear the brunt conflicts, are not involved in peace processes in active and meaningful ways. While women have been continuously engaged in grassroots peacebuilding initiatives in the South Caucasus, they remain at the margins of formal politics and are largely excluded from the official peace processes.

The Women in Peace Mediation Course offers participants rigorous training sessions to enhance their peace process design competencies, mediation and negotiation skills and related knowledge base. The four training modules are also designed to provide support to the participants in developing multitrack inclusivity models in their respective contexts.

Module 1 runs from November 24 to 28, 2015 and covers the mapping of conflicts and respective peace processes, 2015 conflict analysis, and conflict transformation. It will be held at the Armada Old City Hotel.

The course will be conducted in English, but Russian translation will be provided.

Timing and Application Details
