Peacebuilding Training Guide

Karuna Center peacebuilding practitioners have traveled the world developing and implementing sustainable strategies for conflict transformation in partnership with local organizations. In publishing this training guide, we invite the reader into the philosophy behind our peacebuilding efforts, as well as share the details of workshop designs, the countries in which we taught them, and useful materials for the tasks of teaching and learning.

The tools for peacebuilding need to be disseminated widely, so that skills for transforming conflict can be taught worldwide to current and future generations. We hope this guide will serve you well.
