WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE INTRODUCTORY COURSE AND THE FACILITATION COURSE?

DOES THIS TRAINING PROVIDE CERTIFICATION?

As the trainings does not consist of any standardized exam, participants are not eligible for certification. They will, however, receive a training certificate upon completion issued by the NCPD with information about training content etc.

• Use of dialogue methodology: Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue wants dialogue as a method and practice to be used, involve people, and spread to as many as possible. Participants in dialogue courses organized by Nansen Center are therefore free to use the knowledge, skills, and course materials – as long as it is clearly stated that the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue is the source.
• Representation: Employees of the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue and partners with whom we have formal agreements are the only ones who represent the Nansen Peace Center. Any other attempts to claim or insinuate that one represents the Nansen Center will not be accepted.

WHAT DOES THE COURSE FEE COVER?

 

The course fee includes:

• Participation in the actual dialogue training
• Accommodation
• Three daily meals – including a meal upon arrival Sunday evening.

The participants must cover any other expenses – travel included.

ARE THERE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPATION IN YOUR COURSES?

Participants are selected based on motivation, background, and availability. For the introductory course «Dialogue in Conflicts», there are no formal requirements for participation. Participation in the course «Dialogue facilitation» requires completion of the introductory course, participation in a similar course or extensive experience from dialogue work.

ON WHICH WEEKDAY DO THE COURSES START?

The courses start on Monday morning, but we recommend arriving on Sunday evening.

CAN THE CENTER PROVIDE SCHOLARSHIPS?

Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue does offer scholarships within our own network and partners.

HOW OFTEN ARE THE COURSES HELD?

Each course is offered once a year. The Nansen Center can, however, offer similar, tailor-made courses for groups throughout the year.
