Peace Training

Pax Christi International assists whole communities to prevent violent conflict, strengthen inter-group co-operation and apply the principles of unity-in-diversity, equality and justice within sustainable community-building processes.

Peace training aims to build a lasting foundation for inter-group and inter-ethnic peace in those regions where the ravages of war, terrorism, prejudice, rapid socio-economic and cultural change and the demands of modern life have created conditions of insecurity and conflict in communities. Pax Christi’s peace training strategy is to reach a wide variety of civil society representatives.

Highlights

• Pax Christi International organised a series of trainings at different locations on peace, reconciliation and respect for human rights for the Pax Christi network in the Great Lakes region, leading to the publishing of a set of one manual and four brochures.

• Pax Christi offers projects in schools on “Peer Mediation.” Students offer their skills in conflict mediation at school.
