Training on Conflict transformation and the Wildfires in a Spanish village
October 25–31 2023 in Sende
We usually explore conflict transformation with change makers from the post-war regions and conflict stricken countries.
But what happens when the conflict comes from the natural disasters like wildfires (mostly provoked by the man)?
Conflict where the community, nature, policies, neighbours, politicians, firefighters, private companies and activists are directly involved.
This will be the topic that we will be working on during one week this October. If you like the topic, please read more 👇
✈️ This training is free of charge (we will cover your food, accommodation, and even flights).

🌳👩🏽💻 Venue: Sende, a tiny village in Spanish mountains, right on the border with Portugal (often affected by the wildfires)
🗓️ Dates: Arrival on October 25th and departure on October 31th of 2023

BRIEF SUMMARY
The international event brings participants interested in exploring conflict transformation in the context of natural disasters and local community.
We will be using the same teaching methodology that we use to work on conflict transformation and peace building but on the context of Galician wildfires.
This program comes with intercultural dimension because we will be a group of people coming from different realities and different cultures.
We will be working on ideas, solutions, conflict theories, we will build prototypes, use digital and analog tools, and share good learnings.
And all of this while enjoying the kiwi shade in a Galician village while eating well and coworking and coliving with other participants.
