Profile Information
- What motivated you to become involved in peace and conflict resolution?
- What led me to the field of conflict resolution and international development was my sincere and continuing commitment to promoting the peace and prosperity of humankind. I am convinced that the ways of peaceful, just and creative governance and community action can be learned and implemented in all sectors and regions if an enlightened and systemic approach is taken. I look forward to meeting other practitioners who feel likewise.
- Please feel free to provide a short bio about yourself (no more than 3 paragraphs)
- During the past 7 years I have worked intensively for the International Education for Peace Institute (www.efpinternational.org), on project design and implementation, management, donor relations and project evaluation. The organization focuses on projects that build local capacity to prevent future community violence through a comprehensive program of consultation, training, community action and policy advocacy. In recent years, I have specialized in curriculum development, teacher training, and the design of peace education and conflict resolution resources based on new media technologies.

Thanks for sharing this article! I would love to see curriculum and manuals as well. I will think of some good articles to share with you. You might be interested in our Community-based Institutes on Peace Education (CIPE) initiative. There is a manual (slightly outdated) you can download online: http://www.c-i-p-e.org./cipe/support.html. The CIPE is our response to the lack of formal teacher training opportunities in peace education - amongst other things. I know Krister quite well too! It's a small world!
Best wishes,
Tony

I'd be delighted to learn more about some of the new work going on at EFP. I 've met Dr. Danesh on a number of occasions and have always been impressed with his vision and ideas. I've also met Nagmeh here in NYC several times - she is excellent as well.
Best,
Tony
You might be aware of communal cum ethnic violence in India. I think people like you and your organisation can contribute a great deal in building models here. Welcome anytime to work or visit India and take a look at our work.
