Discover unique and highly successful collaborations between Mediators Beyond Borders International (MBBI), Rotary, and local clubs to create meaningful, hands-on peacebuilding projects with lasting results. Funded in part by global grants and Vocational Training Teams (VTT) these projects build capacity among community leaders engaged in conflict prevention in high-conflict zones. MBBI experts will demonstrate a typical interactive training session and share stories of peacebuilders who are helping their communities prevent or heal from conflict with a special emphasize on women peacebuilders.
