Dear friends,
We are happy to announce the release of the English version of “Reconciliation?! Training Handbook for Dealing with the Past”.
The handbook is based on the experiences of the Centre for Nonviolent Action gathered during 15 years of intensive work in the region of former Yugoslavia. We hope that this handbook will serve as an inspiration for many and be an encouragement for peacebuilding work.
