Participants of the Advanced Conflict Transformation training in October 2008From 12 October to 6 November 2009, Coalition for Peace in Africa (COPA) will run a conflict transformation course in Johannesburg, South Africa. The Advanced Conflict Transformation (ACT) training is a peace building course at the intermediate level for practitioners from all over Africa focusing on four modules (Understanding Conflict, Conflict Transformation, Conflict Intervention and Building Sustainable Peace). The course seeks to bring together peace practitioners from across the African continent to learn and share experiences in peace building. In addition, the ACT training places emphasis on culturally sensitive and sustainable responses to regional and community conflicts in the continent.
Besides including an analysis of global events and their impact on Africa, ACT also focuses on personal development and the need for individuals and organizations to form networks with others working in similar fields. Participants are provided with a space to share ideas, experiences and to learn from best practices of others as one way to inform their future strategies.
The course will be organized in four weekly modules, offering participants the opportunity to engage in the whole course, or single out those modules that are best serving their learning needs.
The ACT training is designed for practitioners working in development and/or human rights, and for peace and relief workers operating in contexts of violence, conflicts and post conflict situations in Africa.
For more information and to download the ACT prospectus and application form, please visit the COPA website.
Please note that the deadline for applications is 5 October 2009.
