In partnership with the Department for Peace and Conflict Research (DPCR) at Uppsala University, the Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation hosted 23 participants from the Americas, Africa, Asia, Middle East and Eastern Europe for a 10-day training programme that included lectures, interactive sessions and field visits. Participants represented international and regional organisations, civil society and research institutions, working at diverse levels and with varying roles.
The training sessions provided an opportunity to explore and interact on topics related to dialogue and mediation in the context of sustaining peace. Building on 45 years of peace and conflict research and education at Uppsala University, the training expanded upon Dag Hammarskjöld Foundation’s ongoing engagement in international policy discussions in the peacebuilding field.
