Abstract

The project is created and developed by a solid and dynamic network of 11 institutions (EDEN Network for Peace and Conflict), with a proven commitment and ability to provide high quality training services in the research area of Peace and Conflicts. This network’s goal is to promote training and research about sustainable peacebuilding strategies, with a deep knowledge about the interactions between activities associated to peacebuilding, especially the promotion of good governance, inclusive development and security at several levels. The project is based on the idea of participatory governance, which reconcile social values with those based on market economy, defending the promotion of peace and economic and social development through the participation of all agents and social actors, including local communities, interest groups and companies, public sector and voluntary work sector, including arts and environmental organizations.
