A Training on Using Community Radio for Peace Building

The training seeks to enhance the crucial role media plays in conflict resolution and peace building in Mindanao.

In particular, it will:

  • stress the importance of community media, in particular radio, as a tool for peace building
  • elaborate on the contribution of women to conflict resolution, particularly in Mindanao, and how media has promoted women's active participation in peace initiatives; and
  • explore other creative ideas and strategies on how women – through media – can build peace in the context of existing direct and structural forms of violence
