THE FELLOWSHIP
Since 2002, the Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice (Kroc IPJ) at the University of San Diego’s Kroc School has hosted the Women PeaceMakers Fellowship program. The Fellowship offers a unique opportunity for peacebuilders who focus on issues of gender, peace and conflict to engage in a cycle of learning, practice, research and participation that strengthens peacebuilding partnerships. The Women PeaceMakers Fellowship facilitates impactful collaborations between peacebuilders from conflict-affected communities and international partner organizations. The Fellows also co-create research intended to shape the peacebuilding field and highlight good practices for peacebuilding design and implementation.

FELLOWSHIP OBJECTIVES
  • Learn from and with other Fellows and the Kroc School team.
  • Gain new skills, perspectives, and innovative approaches to peacebuilding.
  • Expand their professional peacebuilding networks.
  • Drive forward vital peacebuilding research that focuses on shaping practice and policy.

DATES: September - July.
RESIDENCY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO
Fellows will complete a two-week residency at the University of San Diego in the United States, usually in November. These dates are subject to change depending on the COVID-19 pandemic and Fellows’ travel requirements.
