Kurve Wustrow conducts an international training for Nonviolence in the Context of War and Armed Conflict in June 10-27, 2020.

Der Kurs „Transformative Friedenspädagogik: Vom Konflikt zum Dialog in Theorie und Praxis" bietet die Möglichkeit, sich mit dem State of the Art der Friedenspädagogik sowohl auf theoretischer als auch praktischer Ebene auseinanderzusetzen und sich fachspezifisches Wissen und Kompetenzen in der Vermittlung verschiedener Inhalte anzueignen.

This course covers a consolidated content of a general mediation training and focuses on the practicability in the fields of peacebuilding and development cooperation. It can easily be topped up in order to fulfill the requirements of the German Federal Association for Mediation (Bundesverband Mediation) or the German Mediation Law regarding a certification/accreditation.

Despite increased international pressure and action to prevent violent conflicts and mass atrocities after the shocks of Rwanda and Srebrenica in the 1990s, the number of armed conflicts has increased in recent years. Whilst the wars in Syria, South Sudan or Ukraine differ with respect to the actors, driving factors and dynamics, they all raise the question of how violence and its escalation could have been prevented. The renewed attention to conflict prevention thus comes as no surprise, not only to prevent human suffering but also in light of cost-benefit-calculations: investing in prevention is more sensible than post-conflict reconstruction.
