Building peace is complex, challenging, and ever-changing. Join us at the SWISSINT Training Centre to immerse yourself in learning – from peacebuilding concepts, skills, and tools to how you apply them effectively in the field in support of your purpose, mission and organisation.

Learning Objectives

The course covers theoretical and practical aspects of peacebuilding. Through our comprehensive and inclusive approach to peacebuilding, this course is designed to meet the training needs for integrated missions. Specifically, the course enables you to:

• Deepen your knowledge and analytical skills to understand the interlinked challenges of peace and security within increasingly complex and volatile peacebuilding environments
• Strengthen your capacity to design and develop effective peacebuilding projects and interventions
• Apply the theoretical and practical tools, instruments and skills taught in the course in a realistic field-based scenario exercise

The course is aimed at members of the Swiss Expert Pool and international participants with 3-5 years of peacebuilding experience, either civilian or military. International participants should be affiliated with government ministries, institutions, non-governmental organisations or traditional authorities. Applicants will be selected on a competitive basis and with due regard to diversity and gender balance.

This course is sponsored by the Government of Switzerland. Participants will need to cover the cost of their travel to the course venue in Stans, medical coverage and visa.
