The workshops are designed to prepare participants from countries all over the world for work in field missions of international organizations.

During the week of October 30 to November 4, Program Officer Jonathan Morgenstein conducted a workshop on post-conflict negotiation and mediation skills. He also focused on the relationship between military and civilians in post-conflict zones. Later he gave instruction on modern issues of conflict in Africa, focusing specifically on Darfur, Rwanda, and Sierra Leone.
