The summer school on Women, Peace and Security targets women and men who seek to include women in active (political) participation and peace building efforts. The main objective of the training is to strengthen individual women and men and their organizations to enable more inclusive and effective peace building, and to facilitate networking. Individuals from conflict-affected areas or staff from organizations that want to advocate for implementation of the women, peace and security agenda and other inclusive conflict transformation efforts are welcome to participate.
