The 2-week peacebuilding workshop is organized at least twice a year for local or international university students and young professionals. The four modules of the workshop explore major peacebuilding themes and are conducted by highly skilled and experienced trainers in the peacebuilding discipline.
The curriculum is mainly built on the experiences and findings of the independent and private research published by Never Again Rwanda and consists of a mix of lectures, debates, Q&As, group discussions, case studies, and historical and cultural site visits.

Kendita Alumnae Assist at Women & Girls Program
May 2021
Female graduates of the Kendita Initiative participated in the Women and Girls Program (WGP) at the South Sudan Peace Library in Juba. The young women assisted by organizing the library for the program, translating the presentations into Arabic for some of the attendees, and catering. Participating in the WGP in this way gave the young Kendita Alumnae the opportunity to listen to the speakers and share their own ideas.
“The Program is very good. It helps us understand what we don’t know and we meet great women and ladies here.”
