RECONCILE International

The RECONCILE Peace Institute (RPI) runs annually and provides three months of training for South Sudanese church and community leaders from across the country.  RPI provides two tracks, one in the area of Peace Studies and Conflict Transformation and the second in Community Based Trauma Healing.  Each twelve-week course consists of six modules. Each module runs for two weeks and most will be taught by adjunct faculty assisted by RECONCILE staff. The classes consist of lectures, group discussions, role plays and simulations, individual presentations, case studies and application of biblical principles.  RPI students live and study in a diverse learning environment, which provides opportunities to spend time in dialogue inside and outside the classroom with students of different genders, ethnic groups, ages, social-economic statuses and life experiences. This three month intensive experience ultimately provides space to reveal, reflect upon and address prejudice and stereotypes, while building meaningful bonds with other students.  In addition, RPI students participate in fieldwork which allows them to practice their skills in the community and learn from organizations and churches based in Yei, South Sudan.

RPI seeks to actualize the full potential of this great nation by providing a comprehensive  three (3) month training to a select group of church and community leaders engaging in trauma recovery, peace work, and/or development in South Sudan.  Our students are equipped with vitals skills necessary for facilitating trauma recovery and conflict transformation in their communities and places of influence in South Sudan and the region. Our instructors include highly trained experts from throughout the African continent, Europe and the United States of America who are committed to contextualizing their knowledge in a manner which is accessible and practical.
