What is a resource kit
A Resource Kit is a set of contents, processes and tools for peacebuilding trainers, facilitators and learning designers. Each resource kit is focused on a given topic (e.g. "nonviolence" or "commmunication, use of the media and peacebuilding"). Here, you can draw what you need for your workshop, help develop the resources and add new resources.
Each Resource Kit is structured as a toolbox, providing you with ready-to-use resources for your workshop. A Resource Kit is not a training manual providing an hour-by-hour agenda on how to structure your workshop. Rather, it provides you with a flexible resource where you can draw only what you need and structure it as you think best. However, sample agendas can be provided for less expert users as examples of how to organise the tools provided.
Each Resource Kit includes plenty of interactive strategies for learning - you might call these activities, or game - based on research evidence that supports the use of training games and interactive strategies for learning enhancement and performance improvement. Our basic rule in designing each resource kit has been “unless we have something new to say, we don’t write content. We write games”. This does not imply that the content is not important, but that we focus on the processes for learning and help you find the content you might need. Some content resources are specifically developed for Peacepaces.com, however, most of the content is provided in the form of free of charge web resources.
Agencies, universities, authors, bloggers and wiki users are today competing with each other in order to publish content that is accurate, up-to-date and free of charge. Traditional policies and superstitious approaches related to print publishing vis-à-vis web publishing and to peer production for resource development, are rapidly disappearing. As a result a large and ever-growing amount of quality content is available on the web for peacebuilding practitioners, scholars and anyone who is interested. Let us try to contribute to that!
