Peace Education
The Peace Education is a WISE/UNHCR program initiated on the Buduburam Refugee Camp in Ghana . The educational program is 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 focuses on individual attiudes while covering issues ranging from tribal reconciliation, respect and equality for all, gender balance in decision making; forgiveness and non-violent approaches to conflict resolution. Peace from within is the key message the program emphasizes.
Activities:
- Workshops, beginning in late 2004, target community and opinion leaders so they can diseminate the message of peace and the lessons of conflict resoltion to their comunities.
- The First Annual Peace Festival was facilitated by WISE, with the support of UNHCR, to engage past participants of the workshops and the greater community in conflict resolution exercises
