Objectives:
Participants are able
• to understand the approach of nonviolent conflict
transformation
• to identify and understand the need for nonviolent action
to confront injustices
• to gain an overview of the wide range of nonviolent means
Peace work is often associated with “classic” peacemaking approaches
like negotiations and mediation. Such methods can lead to sustainable
solutions and a de-escalation of conflict. However, in order for them
to be successful, there has to be a certain degree of power balance
between parties and awareness for the root causes of conflict. To create
such pre-conditions, nonviolent direct action can be a tool to raise
awareness, mobilise people and confront injustice.
The training addresses people who are or want to become peace or
movement workers. Participants will study the basic concepts of nonviolent
conflict transformation based on Diana Francis, including definitions
of violence and peace by Johan Galtung as well as means of nonviolent
action as described by Gene Sharp and others.
