Courses on conflict resolution

PORT MORESBY: The Peace Foundation Melanesia is looking to conduct at
least 60 courses in Conflict Resolution on Bougainville in July next
year.

Co-Director Br Pat Howley told The National that the course was aimed
primarily at the grassroots people, to assist in coming to terms with
their own problems.

The Peace Foundation which was established recently, has held 17
courses since July this year in Wakunai and Buin.

Br Pat said these courses were made possible with the assistance from
the New Zealand Government and AusAID.

"We have found that after these courses, people become much better and
are free of mind."

This we think is very important.

Br Pat added, however, that the Foundation would be holding another 10
courses over the next two months on the island.

He added that this would bring the number of courses held on
Bougainville to 27 by the end of this year with another 33 still to be
conducted through to July next year.

Br Pat added that the Peace Foundation was also holding courses on the
National Capital District, with special emphasis on the settlements.

He added that since April they had conducted 30 courses in various
parts of the city.
