Peacebuilding: A Caritas Training Manual

The Caritas Training Manual is a resource that contains both conceptual and practical tools to help fill the peacebuilder's
toolbox. It is a practical manual to provide trainers in peacemaking with ideas and resources; with interactive materials that cover the basic conceptual dimensions of peacebuilding; with training modules that will enhance the skills of participants but be flexible enough to be tailored to particular needs.

In the manual, peacebuilding in development work is introduced with core concepts, peacebuilding skills, and ideas to connect peacebuilding to programming. The manual aims to provide Caritas Internationalis workers, and other NGO (nongovernmental organisation) workers, with flexible training suggestions and materials to support and enhance their efforts in peacebuilding and reconciliation. It is designed for both expert trainers and novices.

This manual is only able to provide a brief overview of many subjects. Expert trainers and practitioners can add other insights from years of practice in peacebuilding, conflict transformation, development and reconciliation work, as well as the research that has accumulated on these topics.
