Teacher Peace Ed Certification

In cooperation with the Institute for Pedagogical Studies (ISP), the Center for Peace and Disarmament Education in Albania (CPDE) has done the final training for eight teachers in Gramsh and Shkoder. These teachers have participated in several peace education trainings during the past two years and have written peace education activities for the teachers' manual "Toward a culture of peace." Now, they have been certified as national trainers in peace education by ISP and CPDE.

During the second week of December, the ISP trainer Robert Gjedia has been conducting training for trainers on the following topics:

1. How to identify training needs in peace education?
2. How to develop a training session?
3. How to develop a workshop, the trainers' roles?
4. How to evaluate a training session?

The teachers' certification helps toward sustaining peace education in Albania after the end of the UN and Hague Appeal for Peace "Peace and Disarmament Education Project". The ministry of Education and Science in Albania and the Institute for Pedagogical Studies will utilize these teachers for further trainings in peace education in Albania.

The names of the teachers are the following:
