Volunteering in Conflict Areas Seminar in Belgium

2nd - 6th May 2008

If you are interested in conflict regions and conflict resolution and additionally you are about to participate in the seminar, below you can find some useful information. Enjoy reading!

   

Following the strategic plan of the movement (2004-2009), SCI organizes a seminar, related to SCI’s working in conflict areas.
 
The main aim of the seminar is trying to develop a strategy or guidelines how SCI as peace-organization can act in areas where direct violent conflicts (can) appear or already have taken place. We received a grant from the European Youth Foundation (EYF) for this seminar.

   

Some key-questions of the seminar:
1. What are (pre-, post-) conflict areas where SCI should work in?
2. What can SCI do and what can SCI better leave to other organizations?
3. How (in what way) should SCI work in conflict areas to build peace in an effective way?
4. How should SCI prepare volunteers to work in conflict areas?
