RESEARCH & CAPACITY BUILDING
Peace-Building Workshop
Participatory Learning Methodology was the center of the learning process
where each participant had equal chance to take active part. In other
words, it was the participants who were exploring and finding the
solutions to the peace-building challenges during all stages of the
workshop.
It was also tried to avoid much lecturing and providing only
information and knowledge of peace-building. However, it was
emphasized on Learning by Doing for the sake of providing opportunity
to enhance the level of their skills so that the learning can be put into
practice while they are facing with conflict and violent cases in the future.

Capacity Building Workshops
Peace-Building Workshop in Bamyan was funded by Ms. Johanna Roth, a member of the Board of Directors of Shuhada Organization. The three day Peace-Building Workshop in Bamyan province acted as an entry point for further peace related interventions focusing on an important element of society such as school teachers. The women participants (twenty teachers), who were mostly young, were active and motivated to take part in peace-building initiatives. Four of the teachers showed willingness to be part of a network to promote peace related initiatives. There are many opportunities for wider peace initiatives in the region. Considering the findings after the workshop’s evaluation, most of the participants have emphasized the continuation of such workshops.
