I am working on the area of Peace building specially on community mediation, dialogue, Peace research, from last 20 years. I have collected some skill and knowledge and working experience in this field. I am working with government stakeholders at federal, province and local community level, in particular women and marginalized communities, village development committees (VDCs), Municipalities, community-based organizations (CBOs), non-government organizations (NGOs), and other relevant stakeholders. I’m an NVC practitioner and a certification candidate.

However, I am interested to enhance more knowledge and skill in mediation. If the opportunity will provide it will help to develop my skill and knowledge about mediation. I will support and implement the knowledge and skill in the locale government (judicial committee), community level where I am contributing my knowledge. In Nepal especially  women  marginalized people don't have access to justice. They are suffering of violence. My interest is to support them.  I hope the course will provide me to explore the international level skill and knowledge. 

For this I can't afford the cost for training because my earning is not sufficient to pay the fee. 

"Ahoj everyone! :-)
I'm Eva, coming from Belarus, right now moving to Austria to study for an MA in Human rights. My background in civic activism, spiritual practice and effective altruism has led me up towards realising the value of mediation skills,
and how enriching this knowledge would be to my service to the world. I plan to keep being a part of Belarusian opposition, while commiting to the peace-building actions in the region and facilitating healing theatre and movement 
sessions globally. Balance and harmony - internal, between two people, between a person and an animal, in group relationships - are the highest treasures for me, and I would cherish the chance to learn this way more profoundly."

staying in touch!

Dear friends

 I am a white South African living in a coloured and black neighbourhood - in the light of our sad political history of apartheid it is not common for a white South African family to live in a coloured and black neighbourhood (I write about white and coloured and black people with deep deep pain in my heart because this kind of language is part of the challenge we face - but I do it to give you picture of where we are). We also live right next to the local mosque - also very rare for non-muslim family to live next to a mosque. We have been for 5 years in this neighbourhood - learning what it means and what it takes for a white South African family to live here. And we are still learning (I say it so you understand that we do not see our community as an object for our ministry - rather we are the ones now learning. As white South African we in general came into these kind of neighbourhoods with our white power and privilege with all kind of ministries. We refuse to do that. We first have to learn to live here… We have to listen, and to understand, before we speak... and that takes time. For us already 5 years) But for us being here for 5 years, gives us tremendous opportunities. The environment in general is very hostile (I describe it as people living from fear and control). We have already started to apply what we have learned from the basic non violence skills that help us to live from a place of deep compassion and to listen to the needs from the community (and not to assume I know their needs). Lately I feel I need more skills - especially with so much violence and conflict around us - and with us starting to find our place in the community. And that is why I believe this mediation course can help me and equip me with much needed skills for the next season I believe we are entering. If you need more clarity - please ask your questions. About our financial situation. We always lived on the edges of society and were always involved in places of conflict (We spent some time in refugee camps in Lebanon and South Sudan). I am a trained pastor but never went into ministry (I am not a mainstream evangelical - I also don't go around calling myself a christian - Ijust share so that you can understand better) - my own spiritual journey doesn't really qualify me anymore to be a pastor. Therefore I live on the edges of society with all the financial challenges it brings. My income is mainly from Spiritual; direction and life coaching - but in a country struggling economically - it is very challenging.

"I want to use the knowledge gained from the mediation program to educate, teach, and guide children and young people in how to handle conflicts, providing them with a secure foundation and tools for future relationships. I also want to mentor and coach staff in childcare and schools, as these activities are often marked by numerous conflicts and the need to manage their consequences. Conflicts do not need to be avoided if one knows how to address them when they arise. The fundamentals of mediation are crucial in creating a secure society for all, and I want to be a part of that journey."
