WHY SUCH A MEETING?
This meeting is part of a long-term European perspective to develop
educational programs for trainers in nonviolent acion and conflict
resolution. The program is focused on multiplying the number of
people who are able to intervene in conflict areas in all parts of
the world @ north, south, east, and west; in ethnic conflict, in
struggles for human rights, and in situations of great instability.
Therefore, the most prominent aim is to provide a place for
well-experienced people in this field to meet and share their
experiences and pedagogical or training methods, just as it was
done in Namur in October, 1996. This meeting will be held on a
regular basis in the future. The second aim of the meeting is to
encourage and accompany other international training projects and
the establishment of new training courses. It would be an opportunity
for trainers working in different parts of Europe to come together,
ask advice and share means (financial, public relations ...).
