Akala Youth Club (A.Y.C) have orgainized a 2 days Youth Leadership Training about Peace Education from 2068/01/10 to 2068/01/11. Hoste Hainse Child Development Society had Sponsored that training. The training spot was the hall of Tanahun Gyanganga English Boarding School. Our training program was mainly focused for the youths of our club but we have also invited some members of Gyanganga Children Club to participate in the training. The training was given by the President of A.Y.C - Dipak Raj Neupane. The training was very important for our friends. Really, the training ran very smoothly in good environment as we have expected.
Our Peace education training was centered on conflict resolution typically focus on the social-behavioural symptoms of conflict, training individuals to resolve inter-personal disputes through techniques of negotiation and (peer) mediation. Learning to manage anger, “fight fair” and improve communication through skills such as listening, turn-taking, identifying needs, and separating facts from emotions, constitute the main elements of that program. Participants are also encouraged to take responsibility for their actions and to brainstorm together on compromises.
In general, approaches of this type aim to “alter beliefs, attitudes, and behaviours…from negative to positive attitudes toward conflict as a basis for preventing violence." As one peer mediation coordinator put it: “Conflict is very natural and normal, but you can’t go through your entire life beating everybody up—you have to learn different ways to resolve conflict”.
Such training really broadens the mind of youths and is important for everyone. We again expect the positive responses from our friends and our parents. We will always try to make a active involvement of the youths in such training and do something for this Society and Nation.
