It is from this basis that we began designing our training. To discover ways to be more effective in working for peace in our own lives and to see how this is related to working for peace in the world. To understand the elements of peace more deeply and identify what blocks them from occurring. To gain a clearer awareness of individual peacemaking qualities. To see how to better apply tools of peacemaking on an individual level.
Objectives Create a vision of peace and list qualities of a peacemaker.
Discuss what blocks peace from occurring. Identify individual qualities that contribute to peace. The initial phase of our training design included discussion on appropriate use of methodology. It was necessary to explore the multiple choices available and weigh their compatibility with the participant s and trainer s learning styles. Although we consciously decided to create a participant-centered training, we also realized the importance of trainer presentation.
