This workshop was designed for peacebuilders to encourage reflection about programs that support healthy family systems. It guides the participant to reflect on: 1) how diversity of program approaches strengthens effectiveness, as well as how different program approaches can be integrated; 2) how to apply Galtung's theory of Direct-Structural-Cultural Violence to family conflict; 3) how to use Galtung's theory as a tool for cultivating self-awareness of family values, habits, and actions. It also models how peacebuilders can move from understanding peace theory to applying it both as an analysis/programming tool and as practical activities for community members.
