- What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- I am very interested to human rights protection mechanisms, their concrete application and evolution, to the topics of torture, slavery and freedom of thought and expression. I am also very keen to be regurarly updated regarding the evolution of the use of force in the international public law, for which I dedicated my master degree and my current Phd.
If anyone of the network has any experience regarding moderating and managing the Communities of Practice for human rights defenders and adapting the knowledge management notion at this end, I would highly appreciate receiving tips about how to best train practinioners or activisits in this field and target their needs, ressources and feedback about his/her experience. I am very interested to hear from practioners about possible training sessions for CoPs moderation that target the NGOs staff managing such a task. Thank you.
