Religion and Peacebuilding

In this course participants heard from experts and trainers on the role of religious actors and religious dynamics in peacebuilding efforts.  This course explored conceptual frameworks and models that explained intra-religious, inter-religious, and non-religious approaches to peacebuilding, and how government agencies can support diverse civil society peacebuilding efforts while understanding the religious dynamics involved.  The course also discussed how policies, informed by a clear understanding of inter-religious harmony, religious diversity, and pluralism, can support peacebuilding efforts.
