24-28 October 2005. Twenty-two representatives of human rights’ NGOs, state administrations, Ministries of Defense and Interior, political activists and field researchers from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan took part in the training. The trainers, Ms. Gudrun Kramer of the Institute of Integrative Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding and Mr. Wilfred Graf of the Austrian Study Center for Peace and Conflict Resolution have conducted an intensive 5-day training program based on the Six steps Conflict Transformation Process. The methodology included group work, role games and presentations by participants, who have greatly contributed to the workings of the training by sharing their professional experience and exchange of ideas.
Upon the closure of the training, all participants expressed the need for further continuation of conflict prevention training series under the auspices of the OSCE Academy in the form of ToT and forum meetings.
