Training Topic
Human rights and conflict transformation are instrumental for achieving sustainable peace and development. Despite wide recognition that the fields of human rights, peacebuilding and development work in and on similar contexts, they are often perceived as distinct disciplines. This training seeks to go beyond this divide and aims at exploring how human rights and conflict transformation offer different types of insights to similar contexts, and exploring how they can complement one another both practically and conceptually. At the same time, it also recognizes that certain challenges and dilemmas arise when linking human rights and conflict transformation, and considers strategies for addressing these.
This training provides:
– Insights on the value of linking human rights and conflict transformation
– Practical insights and tools from both fields for use in project design, implementation and evaluation processes
– Strategies for addressing ongoing challenges and dilemmas
– Reflection and exchange on one’s own frame of reference and what this means for engaging with the interplay of human rights and conflict transformation
Target Audience
The training is designed for peacebuilding, development and humanitarian practitioners and academics interested in bridging theory and concepts with practical knowledge, good practices and lessons learned from field-based linkages between human rights & conflict transformation.
