Peacebuilding and Peacekeeping
AEGEE Fribourg
December 8th – December 11th
2005
Geneva, Switzerland
Under the patronage of Mrs Micheline Calmy-Rey, Foreign
minister of Switzerland
Peace is more than the absence of war. Prevention is much
more effective and takes less efforts than the attempt to stop ongoing
wars. If we take a look at the global Peace-War balance it is clear that
we should not only focus on the conflict points, but also ask what role
so-called "stable” countries can play. The countries with proven
peacekeeping strategies help us to gather knowledge and experiences in
question of peacebuilding and peacekeeping.
As a part of the current Yearplan Project of AEGEE-Europe
“Tolerance–Acceptance–Peace” the seminar
Peacebuilding and Peacekeeping focuses on what lessons
for conflict resolution can be drawn from particularly stable countries
like Switzerland with a strong culture of peace and how such countries can
contribute to peace in Europe and the world.
Switzerland with its humanitarian tradition, the long peaceful history and
its experiences with minorities and federalism offers the ideal background
to hold such a seminar. With the choice of Geneva as location we would
like to bring the participants in contact with organisations like the UN
and the International Committe of the Red.
Main goal
Our aim is to bring together proven concepts, strategies and initiatives
for peacebuilding and peacekeeping with real existing problems. The
seminar will consist of several workshops that will give the possibility
to discuss in smaller international and intercultural groups about
different solutions for specific types of conflicts. We will focus on
three main aspects:
1. Model function & knowledge transfer
2. Ways of coping with conflicts abroad
3. Private / civil initiatives
The seminar procedure will include analysis of exemplary conflicts and
successful solutions, open presentations of participants’ own
project ideas and development of concrete activity plans with the help of
experienced project managers.
The event will take place in Geneva between December 8th and 11th.
Participation fee is 50 Euros for EU/EFTA countries and 30 Euros for
participants from other states. The fee includes the workshops, lodging
and at least two meals a day.

The most important bases of the selection procedure will be a motivation
letter which should include reasons for interest or experience in the
field of peace-building/peacekeeping, and a description of possible
projects in this field. If an applicant is active in some association
outside of AEGEE, brief information about the activities and
participant’s role in the association should also be provided.
