Unarmed Civilian Protection and Accompaniment is a methodology for teams that offer direct protection of civilians and others, reduction of hostility, re-humanization of parties, as well as increasing local peace infrastructures. This workshop will be largely experiential and learning-by-doing, with a focus on election scenarios. The skills learned can be modified and applied in many facets of life, including political demonstrations, local events, accompaniment of those in danger, neighborhood conflicts, and international conflicts.

Objectives:
1) Sharing experiences of unarmed protection and accompaniment
2) An increased awareness of the orientation, strategies, methods, and impact of unarmed civilian protection
3) Acquiring skills by role-playing how peace teams use these strategies and tactics in local community conflicts, especially related to election scenarios
