Peace Leader
The Peace Leader professional certificate course, certified by Hekima University College (Kenya) is an applied, 6-month blended learning introduction to the role and practices of a peace leader. The program endeavors to integrate selected best practices from peace and leadership studies. As peace leaders in training, students will examine and practice personal and communal skills and values that are foundational for nurturing a culture of peace. The course is designed around three core themes Self-awareness and Cultural awareness; Conflict resolution and reconciliation; and Servant-leadership. Each theme is presented with theory and applied exercises designed to enhance the student’s awareness, skill, and familiarity with foundational methods and practices for Peace Leader development.
