Peacebuilding in Africa: Join Our Free Online Course
Are you passionate about peace, justice, and building sustainable communities? We invite you to join Peacebuilding in Africa, a six-week online program that brings together participants from around the world to learn directly from African peacebuilders.
This free, English-language course explores the realities of conflict, the strategies used to promote social justice and sustainable development, and our shared role in creating a more peaceful world..
What to Expect
Each week, a guest speaker will share insights for 30 minutes, followed by interactive small group discussions and a Q&A session. This format creates space for learning, reflection, and practical action.
Course Schedule
- Journey Through Peacebuilding

Each week is a step in understanding Africa’s diverse struggles and its inspiring strategies for peace.
