The mission of the Education and Training Center/International (ETC/I) is to (1) help practitioners, including local citizens working in zones of conflict and international third parties, to improve the skills required to manage conflict in all its phases; and (2) promote peace by working through educational systems in fragile states and societies emerging from conflict. ETC/I’s mission is accomplished through an integrated approach utilizing our online courses and our onsite seminars and workshops.
We conduct education and training workshops in a range of countries across the globe, our focus and emphasis reflecting Institute priorities such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Balkans, Iraq, Sudan, and others.
Audiences served include local citizens working to build peace in zones of conflict, as well as international third parties seeking to assist such efforts. We integrate our online courses with our onsite seminars and workshops to help practitioners and educators develop and improve their conflict management skills. The program staff, headed by Mike Lekson, uses highly interactive methods that draw on the professional and personal experience of the participants themselves.
