Faculty and Staff Development Seminar on Gender and Peace Building in Kitwe, Zambia
The UPEACE Africa Programme and the Department of Gender and Peace Studies, in collaboration with the Dag Hammarskjöld Center for Peace, Good Governance, and Human Rights of the Mindolo Ecumenical Foundation (MEF) are organizing a Faculty and Staff Development Seminar on Gender and Peace Building, to be held in Kitwe, Zambia from the 26th to 30th of July 2004.
The Seminar will, amongst other things, focus on exploring the links between gender, peace building and development, with the view to sharing experiences in teaching on gender and peace building, specifically through an exchange of curricular resources both from the UPEACE Department of Gender and Peace Studies, as well as from participating African institutions and invited external resource persons.
In responding to the need for scarce technological infrastructure and hardware, the seminar will provide a demonstration on training material on CDs, DVDs and video developed by UPEACE’s Department of Gender and Peace Studies. After the workshop, participants will function as focal points for the development and dissemination of knowledge in Gender and Peace building.
