Peace Education Short Courses at UPEACE

Greetings from sunny Costa Rica! Here at the United Nations mandated
University for Peace, we are in the fourth year of the Peace Education M.A.
programme. Thus far, we have graduated over 40 talented students, many of
whom are working in important positions in which they are promoting peace
through education. The profile of our alumni confirms the success of our
programme. Indeed, we are having a multiplier effect!





Examples of the work our alumni are doing include the following:

- *Dody Wibowo*: Participatory Peace Education Trainer with Peace Brigades nternational in Indonesia.
- *Julie Hyde*: Sessional lecturer in conflict resolution at McMaster University, Canada.
- *Onen Christine Harriet*: Project Coordinator of the Youth Education Pack (YEP) at the Norwegian Refugee Council in Gulu, Northern Uganda.
- *Som Prasad Niroula:* Programme Officer at the Nepal Institute of
Peace.
This year, for the first time, we are opening some of the Peace Education
courses to outside participants as short courses. Attached to this email is
a brochures of the short courses, and I would greatly appreciate your
assistant in distributing it to your networks and potential students. If
you have any questions, please contact me at ecarvalho@upeace. org.

I wish you peace and joy in the upcoming year.

Warm regards,

Eliana Carvalho M.
