IVLP Impact Award Project: Local Level Disengagement and Rehabilitation
This project promoted conflict management while also building the capacity for young people's groups to resolve community issues. In total, 350 young people, teachers, and community members were trained to be agents of change in the community, focusing on grassroots movements towards peaceful conflict management. Many of the teachers trained replicated the activities for peace promotion, harmony, respect for other religious and sub-religious persons, and impulse control among students in their own classrooms.
