The alumni had attended trainings during the years 1989-2019 and came from India, Indonesia, Myanmar, Nepal, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Timor-Leste. The Department was represented by Helena Grusell, Angela Muvumba Sellström and Peter Wallensteen.

Insights from research such as challenges to peacebuilding in Sri Lanka, gender, climate and protection of civilians, and conflict trends and new developments in peacebuilding as well as insights to sustaining inclusive peace and strengthening inclusive peacebuilding through policy and dialogue were topics covered during the three days. Moreover, the meeting was a platform to exchange experiences, and learn about knowledge gained from having attended the trainings at DPCR. There were fruitful discussions on ways forward to develop, strengthening and sustaining the DPCR ITP Alumni Network to include as many as possible of the Departments 800 former participants of ITP’s between the years 1988-2019.
