Profile Information
- What motivated you (or your organization) to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- So far, I think my country had enough violence and needs to convert to a more peaceful one!
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself or the work of your organization (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- I am involved in peacebuilding and conflict resolution activities since early 2004 through a series of activities (Training of Trainers, Proffessional Training in peacebuilding and conflict mitigation, workshops, seminars, and others).
I also play a role in conflict resolution and peacebuilding as a board member of a local NGO called (CSOI) through conducting many peace education workshops and training sessions in Kirkuk. Those trainings and workshops meant to involve different levels of community members, including; university instructors, university students, youth, female teachers, professional employees of Kirkuk government offices, and religious and tribal leaders.
Being a board member of CSOI, I had also a chance to assist and support the establishment of Kirkuk Council of Notables (CON); an independant, effective, diverse (ethinc, religious, and gender) group of community leaders. All 30 members of the council have a strong role to play in peacebuilding and conflict resolution through thier respective position in thier communities and other communities in Kirkuk. The council is now performing well, but also needs some support. CSOI is in contact with many NGOs to find financial support for the CON.

Sorry for the late reply; I've been super busy working and working and working.
Hope all is well with you :D
I am pleased to recieve the first contact here. Thank you for taking the initiative. I am focusing my efforts on peacebuilding and peace education, mainly in Kirkuk (a governorate north of Iraq) which is known as a city of differences and disputes. I am looking forward to explore ways of linking approaches.
Regards,
Sameer
