Participatory Peace Education
The PBI Indonesia Project Peace Education Program has been developed in response to requests by local parties and organisations in Indonesia that are concerned with peace building in Indonesia. PBI works with local partners to develop strong networks and capacity for conflict transformation among local organisations, civic officials and religious groups. Trainings and workshopsThe PBI Peace Education Program primarily takes the form of Conflict Transformation trainings and workshops. As part of a strategy to both follow up and maintain sustainability of the program, a Training of Trainers is also offered at the request of a local partner. The goals of the workshops are to strengthen and build the capacity of local organisations and individuals to develop and effectively use conflict transformation models that are appropriate to the local situation. In this way, PBI hopes to empower local Peace Builders and Trainers, lessening and eventually ending the need for PBI's program. The Peace Education Program has conducted over 30 conflict transformation workshops since the year 2000 in provinces including:
Participants from these workshops have come from a wide cross-section of Indonesian society, including:
Thus PBI's peace education program has reached peace builders at the grass roots, middle and upper levels of society. Other Peace Education activitiesBesides these trainings and workshops, PBI sub-teams carry out discussions focussed on the role of local people and organisations in Peace Building. These discussions create opportunities for communities to come together and consider ways which they make space for peace everyday. PBI sub-teams also have small libraries of peace materials (primarily books and some videos) that are accessible by local organisations and individuals. |
