Nonviolence Education and Training
IFOR assists groups and individuals to find ways in which they can
transform conflicts into positive and growth oriented interactions
that involve dialogue and lead to reconciliation. This is done through
various presentations and training programs, as well as through the
creation of resource materials and contact with trainers and resource
people.
Call to ALL BGAs for digital resources!
IFOR is working on expanding its online source of materials related to peace, active nonviolence, interfaith dialogue, peace activists and more.

"In this training, I found that I have leadership skills that I did not know I had before."
– Young woman in a Palestine leadership workshop
"If all of civil society looks at leadership in this way and evaluates and participates with
others in discussing how leadership is going to open up participation and choice, then
many of our problems will be solved."

Also available in: Maghreby-Arabic, Shamy-Arabic, Assamese, French, Hausa, Malay, Meiteilon, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Shona, Spanish, Swahili, and Uzbek. Bahasa Indonesian, Kokborok, Turkish, and Tagalog editions are forthcoming.
The reference guide highlights the importance of gender issues and promotes integrating a gender perspective into field work. It is meant to assist staff members of OSCE field operations and decision-makers in helping post-conflict populations to recover, rebuild and realize the type of society where gender awareness and inclusiveness foster peace and prosperity.
The rights-based approach of the Guide recognizes that stable societies - and a stable world - are built on the acceptance of universal principles of human rights. Ultimately, the Guide is meant to help OSCE staff members in the field to consider and devise practical ways of pursuing the long-term objectives of equality and productivity, essential requirements in the achievement of a lasting peace. |
Empowering Young Women to Lead Change
A training Manual
By: World YWCA, 2006
Available in English, Spanish, and French
Empowering Young Women to Lead Change is an easy to follow resource manual designed to enable young women to prepare and facilitate training on a host of issues that are important to them. A joint publication of the World YWCA and UNFPA, the manual was developed by young women and contains modules on young women's leadership, economic justice, HIV and AIDS, human rights, peace, self esteem and body image, sexual and reproductive health and violence against women. The issues are complex and the publication has been developed for young women to lead themselves in learning more about the issues through fun and participatory activities and on to action. Trainings and workshops can be designed using the entire manual or pulling out modules of interest for shorter sessions. It was tested in six countries and was launched at the International AIDS Conference in Toronto. The manuals will be distributed to YWCAs in 122 countries as well as to UNFPA country offices and to organizations working with young women and youth.
