Ateneans Engage in Peacebuilding Efforts in Asia

The Asian Peacebuilders Scholarship Programme is a shared initiative of the Nippon Foundation, University for Peace and Ateneo de Manila University. The main objective of this dual-degree, dual-campus programme is to train young Asian professionals to become peacebuilding practitioners, ready to take up leading positions in organisations across the globe. In particular, the programme serves to strengthen the representation of Asian professionals in the field of peacebuilding.

Asian Peacebuilders of 2019, APS Cohort 12, conducted their capstone projects in various parts of Asia. Seven group projects were designed in the context of humanitarian work and conflict transformation. Central to these efforts were the people’s participation in the implementation phase.
