About CPSC
Civilian Peace Service Canada (CPSC) proposes to establish the first opportunity for formal accreditation of Canadian Peace Professionals.
Goal
To build a sustainable peace, at home and abroad, in partnership with local communities, through establishment in a phased manner of the Civilian Peace Service Canada which facilitates the training and accreditation of qualified civilians to promote and facilitate the non-violent resolution of conflict.
Civilian Peace Service Canada (CPSC)
will work with existing organizations to:
provide thoroughly assessed and trained peace professionals and volunteers;
offer significant value-added to the burgeoning need for knowledgeable, thoroughly prepared, accredited experts in peace and conflict issues.
WHY?
There is a growing consensus that uni-dimensional resolution of conflict is not working, be it military, humanitarian, developmental or other;
People are weary of war and want to see greater application of non-violent approaches to resolve difficulties;
Conflict prevention, as well as resolution and/or transformation, is increasingly recognized as critical and requires a distinct skill set.
