Closed: Call for applications to a Learning Programme. Peace Building for Convivial Life Together - 2

A one year learning programme for those involved in diaconal work, social, community and youth work as well as for pastoral workers and long term volunteers who wish to develop their knowledge, skills and competence in the culture of peace building.

September 2022 – October 2023

Invitation

The Programme aims to develop the knowledge and skills for the practice of conflict transformation, which will enable the participants to learn new approaches and methods and to revise and reflect on their approaches to conflict resolution, rooted in the recognition of conflict as an integral part of life. The programme aims to address three phenomena:

• Interpersonal conflict & violence
• Intergroup conflict & violence
• Structural conflict & violence

Whilst recognising that conflict on these three ‘levels’ is often linked.

Specific Objectives

The programme is built on the recognition that conflict is very often based on issues of identity and power, separately or combined and that such conflict prevents convivial life together. The programme integrated the following approaches to conflict resolution:

• Acquire or enhance the knowledge and skills of Non-Violent Communication
• Non-formal Mediation
• Restorative justice
• Dialogical and rights based approach to community development

The programme was to develop Biblical, theological and spiritual resources in relation to conflict resolution and peace building and support the core concept of convivial life together in peace with justice.

How the programme is organised?

The programme is designed for people who are already working in the field and it will accompany participant's everyday work. This ensured that the learning will be relevant to participant's practice.

• There are 4 international workshops in the partner countries of interdiac, including local study visits. Each workshop will last 5 days, including travel days.
•  A mentoring and a peer learning system for the period between the workshops are organised. It should be noted that in interdiac we learn in international groups of participants.
•  Self-directed reflective learning with a use of: Learning Diary, access to an on-line learning platform Canvas, and the resources of the ‘interdiac online space’ (see www.online-space.eu)

Programme starts with preparatory work on the 4th September 2022 and finishes with finalisation of all assignments on the 14th October 2023.

The dates of the Workshops are planned:

• 19-23 September 2022
• 16-20 February 2023
• 15-19 May 2023
• 18-22 September 2023
