Canadian School of Peacebuilding
The Canadian School of Peacebuilding (CSOP), a program of Canadian Mennonite University (CMU), has been created to serve practitioners, professionals, activists, students, non-governmental organizations and faith-based groups engaged in peacebuilding. Its goal is to serve peacebuilders around the world by bringing them together in a collaborative learning community, nurturing and equipping them for various forms of peace practice and exposing them to some of the most significant, emerging ideas and teachers in the field.
This second annual CSOP will be held at CMU in Winnipeg, MB, from June 14 to July 2, 2010. Three 5-day sessions, each with two or three courses running concurrently,
