Peace Education
The Peace Education was a WISE / UNHCR program initiated on the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana. The educational program was aimed at providing learning opportunities for participants to imbibe attitudes and skills that will help them contribute to conflict prevention and peaceful co-existence among residents of the camp. The program focused on individual attitudes while covering issues ranging from tribal reconciliation, respect and equality for all, gender equity in decision making; forgiveness and non-violent approaches to conflict resolution. Peace from within is the key message the program emphasized.
Activities:
- Workshops, beginning in late 2004, targeted community and opinion leaders so they can disseminate the message of peace and the lessons of conflict resolution to their communities.
- The First Annual Peace Festival was facilitated by WISE, with the support of UNHCR, which engaged past participants of the workshops and the greater community in conflict resolution exercises.
