Profile Information

Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs): After studying performing (dance/theatre) & visual arts, and management, I went abroad (canada) to work in a dance theatre. Later on, I started to use creative media to work on development issues (in romania, hongary, albania mexico). Back in the Netherlands, I worked at a crisis/care take centre for children and women.

Since these work experiences were quite practical and performed at local level, a more strategic developmental focus appealed to me. A BA Development Studies (University of Utrecht) and a Research Msc. Human Geography, Planning and International Development Studies helped me to gain understanding in the global dimension of development problems. During my study and research conducted (Brasil, the Netherlands and Nepal), I committed myself to the following development topics: environment, gender and conflict transformation. For my msc. research I went to Nepal to look at the conflict impact on social structures in the Mid-Western Hill communities.

After her studies, in 2008, I worked as a Junior Lecturer Conflict and Development International Development and Conflict Studies at the University of Amsterdam. In 2008 I also got involved with UNOY Peacebuilders and served first as a board member and from February 2009 till November 2010 as a Program Coordinator.

Going through your profile, I noticed that you've done an intensive research on Maoist movement of Nepal. Thus, it is not necessary for you (Sun) to show a candle. I've interest in participating your peace and human rights education programme to be held in Utrecht, The Netherlands. I applied for the course but I also request you for a scholarship to attend the programme. Could you please guide me whom to send the CV. Presently I am working in the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction, Nepal and involved in the execution of Model village/Peace Village safety nets and similar programs in various hardest hit areas (e.g. Khara, Rukum).

Thank you very much for accepting the request for being a peace friend. Like other friends I have interest in applying for your summer school. However, I got confused with the date. Is it a Jan 2011 to Dec 2011? Could you please specify? and is Nepal eligible for scholarship which shall be the only means for participation?

The only way to get rid of it is to send a message to Craig and ask him to delete it. You can add him to your friends or try doing it through the <contact> button in the top menu.

I had the same with an event I am co-hosting - the event shifted dates due to elections here in Thailand when we originally planned the event.

In case your interesting and given your line of work you might; I would like to bring your attention to the upcoming Asia Pacific Mediation Forum (APMF) not-for-profit event; "The Asia Pacific Mediation Leadership Summit - From Talk To Action", taking place in Bangkok 2 - 4 December 2011, which brings together mediation and ADR specialists from various fields; including family mediation, commercial and workplace mediation, court-annexed mediation, conflict and community mediation, climate change and disaster response mediation and various cross-sectional themes, like for example human rights, cross-cultural dynamics and women in mediation.

Do have a look at my profile and the Mediation Summit's link (www.mediation-leadership.com) and feel free to email me or send me a message when having any questions regarding participation.

Met vriendelijke groet,

Dennis Bours

Ik keek net naar je event, en ik wilde je even tippen dat de data van je event niet overeen komen met wat je in de tekst zegt (8 jan 2011 - 8 december 2011)... Mensen zoeken vaak op specieke data en het lijkt nu alsof je een 1-jarig programma hebt.

Groeten!
