Getting Ready for a Future Without War: Implementation of a Peace Education Programme in Liberia

This paper examines how the community workshops of the Inter-Agency Peace Education Programme (INEE, 2005) were implemented in a refugee camp in Ghana with refugees from Liberia. Data from observations and interviews showed that participants were very active, highly appreciated the workshops and often transferred what they learned into their daily life. Reality constraints, important target groups and the role of culture for peace education are discussed to outline challenges and chances of peace education in the process of reconciliation and peace building after a civil war.
