Women Building Peace

Women Building Peace is a radicalisation-aware and conflict-sensitive training programme, supporting marginalised women to become more active citizens who lead the way in preventing and resolving violent conflict through intercultural dialogue and challenging extremist narratives. It consists of a highly flexible and tailored programme of interactive, accessible audio-visual non-formal learning delivered to women of any age in cohorts of 12-15, usually consisting of a 4-6 month programme of 12-14 workshops undertaken at highly accessible local sites, with an added intensive residential element.

Units cover:

• identity and belonging – the compatibility of multiple identities
• prejudice and discrimination
• conflict resolution and peacebuilding – how to identify and manage conflicts, including those driven by early signs of radicalisation
• active citizenship and leadership – volunteer placements and support packages to allow local women to take the initiative in preventing and resolving conflicts
• intercultural dialogue sessions with members of little-encountered communities that are the subject of violent extremist narratives
• intercultural dialogue platforms, allowing feedback of under-represented voices into the policymaking process
