Overview
This is a highly practical, hands-on course designed to prepare anyone wanting to work in conflict prevention, crisis management or peacebuilding with the essential skills for working in a conflict situation. Each day of the course will focus on a particular set of skills and how to apply them in the peacebuilding context. The final day-long simulation exercise will test these skills. You will be assessed by an experienced observer who can advise you on next steps in your personal and professional development as a peace worker.

Join people from across the broad spectrum of the British peace movement for five days of exploration, celebration and empowerment: learning from other movements, struggling with challenging issues, creating more cohesion in a segmented peace movement and debating nonviolence.

Learn how to grow and prepare herbs, discover their many uses, make herbal skin products, ointments and creams, and much more.
