This Program has been conducted to develop human resources of civilian peacebuilders by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) of Japan.
The Hiroshima Peacebuilders Center (HPC) is commissioned by MOFA to conduct the Program of FY2012 in collaboration with the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme. Specifically, the Program of FY2012 comprises the Primary Course for those who seek career development in the peacebuilding field; the Civilian Experts Course for those who have already engaged in peacekeeping/peacebuilding activities to some extent, and the Seminar on Basic Peacebuilding for people who wish to be involved in the peacebuilding field in the near future. In addition, the HPC organizes various events such as a symposium to make an intellectual contribution to the field of peacebuilding as part of the Program.
