The participants will share their ideas, experiences and expertise and connect with other women peace mediators from different regions of the world.We feel selection of good participants is the most important aspect for having a good and meaningful course which will lead to more peaceful communities. We need your active support to make this venture successful by identifying potential participants.Those interested in this course are requested to fill out the questionnaire (attached) electronically and send it together with a motivation letter (800-1000 words) and your CV by 20 May 2013 to the following two contact points:
