Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding Workshop

The WISCOMP team conducted a two-day Peacebuilding Workshop for political science students at Loreto College, Kolkata on December 7-8, 2007. A first of its kind at Loreto, the Workshop sought to introduce the students to the field of peacebuilding, with a special emphasis on Conflict Prevention and Conflict Transformation Frameworks. To maximize learning, the WISCOMP team employed multiple teaching formats such as lecture, group discussion, role plays, debriefing, films and audio-visual presentations. A central theme at the Workshop was the role of women in peacebuilding, which drew extensively on lessons from WISCOMP’s Athwaas initiative in Jammu and Kashmir.
