ANNUAL WORKSHOPS

The annual Conflict Transformation workshop was conceptualized as part of the efforts of WISCOMP to empower a new generation of women and men with the motivation, expertise and skills to engage in processes of peacebuilding between Pakistan and India.

In June 2001, WISCOMP was among the few South Asian initiatives to bring together third generation Pakistanis and Indians for a sustained dialogue and training in Conflict Transformation. Since this first workshop, the WISCOMP Conflict Transformation model has been widely appreciated and emulated by an increasing number of civil society groups in the two countries.

The Conflict Transformation workshop is informed by a "generational approach" to peacebuilding where the focus is on empowering the leaders of tomorrow to become agents of constructive social change in their communities and nations. A first step in this direction is the creation of a space where young people can rise above the baggage of the preceding generations to build a future based on trust, mutual respect and coexistence.

The conflict transformation workshops are open to South Asian women and men, interested in the field/s of conflict prevention and early warning, conflict management, conflict resolution, conflict transformation and peacebuilding.
