More than 1400 people have successfully participated in our trainings and courses. They all take an active part in the fields of international peace and conflict work, conflict-sensitive development work and humanitarian aid work.

For our alumni, who live and work in different parts of the world, we offer our regular X-Changes. This network enables them to establish contacts, exchange ideas and reflect on their own peace and conflict work on the ground.

The X-Change takes place online. Here, alumni discuss current political issues in peace work or methodological approaches, share a project experience they have worked on or are working on, or simply put an open question in the room that is on their mind and on which they would like to exchange ideas. Furthermore, it is a place to get to know each other better, to network and to share one's expertise, thoughts or doubts with others. Please find a summary of the X-Change on "Non-violence in Violent Times" here. In May 2022 alumni met to talk about Shrinking Spaces, you can read more about it here.

If you are alumni of the Academy and are interested in sharing a topic, question or project, please feel free to contact us at akademie@forumzfd.de
