Description
The project Policies of local peace-building responds to the challenges posed to our society by the environmental and political crisis, in which there is an inability to improve the protection of human rights and endanger the acquired levels of protection. First of all, the crisis has those who have the least social, economic and political power - such as refugees, the poor and the rural population. In this project we recognize non-violent and peaceful action as one of the possible answers to the threat of human rights and develop an approach to capacity decision-makers at the level of local self-governments for the non-violent and peaceful resolution of acute and chronic problems of their communities. To achieve this, we will define the curriculum of basic and advanced training for non-violence policies. These trainings will bring together participants in decision-making processes at the level of local self-government, who will, after training in four local communities, conduct dialog forums - a method of peaceful resolution of political conflicts, and all trainees will receive continuous support through the mentoring lab during the project. The educational content of the project will be verified through the evaluation process, and the research on non-violent and peaceful conflict resolution will also be carried out, including both political and civil society actors.
