Peace Professionalism Project
Creating a global network of peace scholars, practitioners and policy makers
How do peace professionals know whether they possess the skills, competencies and values necessary to be effective in their work? What makes an effective peace worker?
Peace researchers and practitioners increasingly acknowledge the pitfalls of focusing almost exclusively on peace programming and related skills to achieve desired peace outcomes.
The Peace Professionalism Project will create a global network of scholars, researchers and practitioners to explore alternatives to this current model.
PPP is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) through a Partnership Development Grant.
