Three Events that Affected My Engagement

Three Events that Affected My Engagement

A timeline is drawn on the board or flipchart representing three periods: before the war; during the war; after the war. For each of the three periods, each participant writes an event on a post-it that affected his/her current engagement with peacebuilding. Then, one by one, each participant walks up and attaches his/her post-its to the timeline, briefly explaining what they have written. Materials: Flipchart paper, markers/pens
