This training seminar provided a robust program on peace and conflict transformation. Organized by the OSCE Academy in Bishkek in partnership with CRISP and IPD, it welcomed participants from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan.
The sessions began with fundamental concepts of peace, conflict, and violence, creating a theoretical foundation. During the advanced modules trainers Kateryna Pavlova and Ulugbek Nurumbetov introduced conflict analysis tools, case studies, and strategies for sustainable peacebuilding. The program emphasized experiential learning, particularly through the "Kodori" simulation game, which immersed participants in resolving a realistic cross-border conflict scenario involving disarmament, reintegration, and transitional justice.
Cultural diplomacy was also a key component, with a special session at Supara Chunkurchak exploring peacebuilding through Kyrgyz traditions. The training concluded with sessions on the "Do No Harm" approach, theory of change, and project proposal development, ensuring participants left with actionable strategies.
Feedback from participants highlighted the program's interactive format, the relevance of its tools, and its ability to deepen their understanding of complex conflict dynamics​.
