First brainstorming session:

• To do work effectively there is need for knowledge and skills which the website provides
• It is a tool for clarification and it is a way of learning from different IRCs and it helps to improve methodology through different ideas from peers
• It is a channel where people meet and share ideas this can be a tool for organisational learning and share experiences
• Use it as a framework to build on local experiences and share among ourselves, can edit the evaluation report through using SWOT analysis
• Use it a tool for advocacy and also rally support at the international level on different issues. The only question is how to verify stories/information on sensitive issues e.g. violation by security forces ( try ushahidi.com)
• The complimentarity between peacepaces and other websites- for IRCs, can upload information from the websites to peacepaces
• If one is a trainer the tools are given for various activities
• Used as a channel for advertisement, talk about what you do and people engage with it

What is the added value of this to your work? How do you engage with it in your work?

• The use of IT as a resource for peacebuilding. Not much attention on this in peacebuilding, how can such a horizontal platform be used? This can be used in sharing of information, experiences.
• Practical examples - uploading reports on forums, documentation of success stories, manuals eg civic education manual, materials on interfaith dialogue.

There is a need to create a page on interfaith dialogue and upload material on this. Uganda has already developed a concept note for this. the page opened would be designed to cater for the various needs that emerge.
in other countries material is already in existence on various issues.

What	How	Who	When
Use the resources already available for our programme work including training	Get people in each IRC on board, so that it does not become a one-man-show, in each organisation. Provide feedback and input on the materials. Print out all relevant training materials, share it with the trainers, decide what to use.
Create a big section acessible from the 'home' page on interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding, everyone uploads material that is then organised by the moderators. This includes; training materials articles on thematic issues conflict analysis success and failure stories, lessons learnt stories from the field Other	Create section accessible from the home page. Each participant goes back to their IRCs, looks into all the resources available and starts uploading. One moderator from IRCs oversees the process (english) and another moderator in French language. Moderators will interact with other moderators on decision making. ACRL should champion and advocate for this work (the new).
