About US

We started at a time when the world recognized the critical need for conflict resolution skills at all levels of society, keenly aware of the necessary shift from the ‘powerful nations’ model to a ‘people-centered’ peace-building model; of the increasing leadership role of regional and sub-regional organizations, along with increasing engagement of civil society actors. All of these transitions underscored the need to prepare people at every level for participation in state-of-the-art peacebuilding processes that are multidisciplinary and collaborative.
