Training Subject and Agenda
The purpose of the program is to develop the ability of Ukrainian professionals to integrate conflict sensitivity into journalism, activism, and humanitarian assistance to ensure that such efforts promote peace and do not exacerbate violent conflict in southern and eastern Ukraine. Specifically, this training aims to develop skills among leading journalists, activists and humanitarians to mitigate violence and influence their constituents’ attitudes and perceptions about people on either side of the conflict in accordance with the “do no harm” approach.
The group consists of ten participants recruited through a competitive process in Ukraine. The participants represent the following organizations:
- Journalists, civil society activists, or humanitarian workers active in the conflict region
- Community leaders representing internally displaced people (IDPs)
- Leaders from a community hosting IDPs
