Nouakchott, Mauritania
3–5 February 2017
The Cordoba Foundation of Geneva (CFG) delivered training in conflict transformation and peace journalism for members of the Diversity and Citizenship Space (EDC), an inclusive Mauritanian dialogue space created in 2015. The training was a great success and enabled participants from Mauritania’s different communities to acquire the basics of conflict-transformation mechanisms, illustrated in particular by the example of peace journalism, in order to better understand and help reduce intercommunity tensions in their country.
The training brought together representatives of civil society organisations and of the political world, journalists, poets, religious leaders and young students. At the end of the training, an action plan was drawn up for the EDC’s next steps.
