feminist peace academy

our training programs comprise a mix of custom-designed programs and certification programs affiliated to other organizations.

at civitatem, our training programs are highly engaging, reflective, and enriching. we prioritize peer learning rather than top-down learning, and experiential and learning by doing rather than remembering facts.

our offering

we provide certificate courses and bespoke training offerings in the areas of our work, namely feminist foreign policy; peace mediation and negotiation; women, peace and security; and decolonial justice. our courses draw on the resources curated and created on the gender security project and are informed by a decolonial, intersectional, feminist lens.

what areas do we train in?

  • our 12-week mediation and negotiation training program is intended to provide individuals with skills required to become conflict transformation practitioners. through a cogent process that includes learning and applying various techniques, skills, and approaches informed by feminist peace pedagogies, this carefully created curriculum is executed with activity-based learning.

  • since 2014, many countries have either adopted or committed to adopting feminist foreign policies. in reality, women and non-binary people in the global south have been "doing" feminist foreign policy for generations now.

    this course recognizes these gaps and takes a deep dive into the field to build strong understandings of feminist foreign policy as a concept. Learn more

  • contemporary ideas and approaches to justice are inherently adversarial and combative and commodify justice. this course offers learnings for lawyers, paralegals, lawmakers, and judicial authorities on ways to decolonise justice in practice.
