Based on the results of the last year´s project “Peace and Conflict Consultant - Kyrgyzstan” we gave a capacity-development training for a mixed group of young people. Participants from all over the country, representing 7 regions of Kyrgyzstan, gathered in a wonderful location in Tatyr mountain region for a 5-day-training. We cooperatively worked through the notions of conflict, peace, violence and conflict analysis. At the next stage these young engaged citizens will give workshops on the theory of conflict and peace in their communities, thus spreading a peaceful approach to conflict transformation in Central Asia. Now full of motivation and plans we are entering another project year in Kyrgyzstan and will keep you informed about the outcomes.
