The UFV Peace and Conflict Studies and Global Development Studies department presents: “Peacebuilding through Comprehensive Development at the Grassroots Level”.
Based on over 10 years of work with 120 villages in the high Himalayan region of northern Pakistan bordering China and Afghanistan, as well as on extensive work with many First Nations in Canada, this presentation will focus on what it takes to translate theories, principles, and models of development into positive outcomes on the ground. Peace building is demonstrated by discovering the determinants of human well-being and understanding the prerequisites for peace and security for people living in difficult circumstances.
Michael Bopp, PhD, and Judith Bopp, PhD, have over 30 years experience with what they call ‘changemaking’ in diverse communities all over the world. This presentation will focus on what it takes to translate theories, principles, and models of development into positive outcomes on the ground. Peace building is demonstrated by discovering the determinants of human well-being and understanding the prerequisites for peace and security for people living in difficult circumstances.
