On the 22nd of November, SAGAPS delivered a training on positive peace to representatives of the Rotary, District 2101, Italy.
The modular training, titled the “Fundamentals of Positive Peace: Practical Tools for
Educators and Project professionals”, combined in-person practical sessions with online thematic training on corruption and health.
The first module introduced the concepts of Positive and Negative Peace, using group
activities and discussions to analyse conflict and emphasise the importance of equitable resource distribution.
The second module focused on building good relationships and understanding the Theory of Change, featuring practical exercises, role-playing scenarios, and group discussions to reinforce key concepts.
The third module explored systems thinking, emphasising the positive peace pillar of low corruption, particularly in the health sector. It highlighted how corruption erodes trust in institutions and poses a threat to security and peace. Participants reflected on how corruption interplays with other pillars and on the complex interests involved.
The training provided practical tools to strengthen peacebuilding and social development, addressing two critical global challenges: economic well-being, shaped by political factors, and social well-being, particularly universal health access. It also provided participants with the skills to design measurable, innovative projects that promote solidarity and positive social change.
This course is part of SAGAPS’ ongoing commitment to empowering governmental and non- governmental actors to create sustainable, positive peace. By equipping participants with practical tools and strategies, SAGAPS supports the development of more resilient, inclusive, and just societies.
