The Peacebuilding and Development Institute, an NGO under the School of International Service umbrella at American University in Washington, DC USA, is currently accepting applications for the Summer 2006 Professional Training Program.
The Peacebuilding & Development Summer Institute provides knowledge, practical experience and skills for practitioners, teachers and students involved in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, humanitarian assistance and development. The Summer Institute will focus on various approaches to mediation, negotiation, facilitation, reconciliation and dialogue, particularly in conflict-torn and developing regions. Participants will explore innovative methods of promoting cultural diversity with respect to public policy, community and religion, war and post-conflict environments, while expanding their knowledge and skills in a participatory and interactive learning environment. Participants in the Summer Institute will be exposed to leading national and international professionals in the fields of public policy, peacebuilding and development.
The summer 2005 Institute welcomed over 200 participants from 25 countries. The participants came from varying backgrounds ranging from international agencies such as the UN, World Vision, CARE, Mercy Corps, USAID, as well as scholars and practitioners from a variety of community organizations. They were joined by Master's degree students from the International Peace & Conflict Resolution division and the International Development division within the School of International Service.
