Exercise description

The participants split into four groups: two of just men and two of just women. One male and one female group (separately) write on their Flipchart paper what type of man they like; the other female and male group write what type of woman they like. They don’t have to agree on what they will write – they just brainstorm. Time is limited to about 15 minutes. Then each group presents their work and is asked questions for clarification.

Discussion in the plenary

What was this like? Do you have any comments?

Exercise description

Instead of splitting up into small groups, wall newspapers can be prepared collectively for each of the three topics.

• What tells us that we are living in peace?
• What tells us that we are not living in peace?
• What could lead to a new war?

They have 20 minutes. Then they present their work in the plenary.

The participants split into groups based on nationality. Their task is to discuss and prepare a presentation about What our society denies (in relation to dealing with the past). The presentations should include concrete examples. The time for working in groups is about 25 minutes. Then each group presents its conclusions, with possible questions for clarification.

Exercise description

Find a volunteer to be the king/queen of the group. They sit in a chair in the middle of the room while the rest write on post-its what they are supposed to be like (expectations of a leader) and attach the post-its to the king/queen. Each post-it should contain just one expectation.

When the process is done, the trainer reads out all the expectations on the king/queen. Then the king/queen is asked: “What is it like for a king/queen with these expectations?”

Then the group is asked to think about which expectations are too much, and which are the responsibility of the group, and they are supposed to divide the post-its into three categories:

– excessive expectations,

– responsibility of the group, and

– realistic expectations of the king/queen.

Exercise description

The participants are given three pieces of paper and asked to write in large legible letters three things they recognise in their societies as contributing to peacebuilding. All the pieces of paper are spread out on the floor and then they have a plenary discussion about: “How do you feel about what was written down? What are the priorities and what are things that in your opinion do not contribute to peacebuilding at all?”

Work in four mixed groups of about five participants each. The task is to discuss what they could do to reduce discrimination against women and against men and to note down major points that they will later present to the others.

Discussion in the plenary

Suggested questions for the discussion:

• Whose responsibility is this?
• Who should be dealing with this?
• What does this topic have to do with peacebuilding?

Exercise description

Step 1. Split into groups based on home countries and prepare wall newspapers about: “What can we do to take a step towards reconciliation?”

Step2. Presentations of wall newspapers from small groups.

Step 3.The wall newspapers from all the groups are put up where everyone can see them. People from other groups go up to the newspapers they did not work on and add points with a different coloured pen. Specifically, their task is to add to the wall newspapers what they think would also need to be done in those communities.

Step 4. Presentation of the additions, comments and remarks.
