Why We Created This…
- The Time for Peacebuilding is Now. This is an absolutely critical time in our history and in our world. Communities are facing a multitude of crises that cross fields, sectors, industries, and borders. But despite the diversity of challenges, all conflict is ultimately a ‘people’ problem. And the solution lies with people who have the skills to engage in conflicts constructively.
- You Can Change the World. Peacebuilding is a skillset, a mindset, and a practice. And when you have the tools to engage in conflict constructively, you’ll invite conflict as a welcomed opportunity to engage in a dynamic, creative, problem-solving process. This not only transforms your individual relationships, but your families, communities, regions, and countries. Peacebuilding is art and skill. And change starts with you.
- Together We Can Make a Difference. We believe that making these Global Peacebuilding skills accessible is key to achieving a more peace ‘able’ world. And while traditional institutions focused exclusively on top-down, ‘powerful nations’ models of peace, Mediators Beyond Borders International recognized that the only lasting peace starts with the people involved.
Our vision is that, by harnessing the power of technology, we can share the experience and expertise of our international practitioners through the Global Peacebuilder Training Institute, and continue to build on and integrate the collective wisdom of the communities we serve.

The Vision and Philosophy
This Institute is designed to aid and advance MBBI’s peace-able goal. The programs will be shaped by the ongoing renewal of inputs, components, and contributions from our global community. This provides a truly robust, evolutionary experience, and the programs will continue to grow as you do.
We intend to welcome new presenters and practitioners from across the globe as participants and contributors to the varied sections and modules, in order to create a dynamic and multidisciplinary learning environment.
