Interpeace’s Peace Responsiveness Online Training blends self-paced learning with virtual trainer sessions. It is the first course of its kind to focus specifically on articulating peace contributions by humanitarian, development, and multi-mandate actors, applying a whole-of-organization and whole-of-system approach to sustaining peace.
This course equips humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding professionals with substantive knowledge and skills to maximise the peace contributions of technical initiatives – such as food security, WASH, or health initiatives – in fragile and conflict-affected contexts. The course also covers the types of personal agency and organizational environment needed to overcome barriers and catalyse change towards peace-responsive approaches in international assistance. In doing so, the course supports the operationalisation of the UN Sustaining Peace Agenda and the Humanitarian-Development-Peace (HDP) Nexus.
Participants join structured cohorts and complete training modules at their own pace within a timeframe of three months. During this period, they participate in three live virtual sessions with facilitators and fellow participants to exchange ideas, discuss content, and ask questions. The course features a specially developed fictional case study, various assessments, and a learning journal, ensuring an interactive and practical learning experience.
After taking the course, participants will have more tools at hand to:
