Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice in San Diego, California from September 29-December 5, 2003. Applications accepted until June 27, 2003: See web announcement at http://peace.sandiego.edu/wpmp.shtml. Made possible through a generous grant from the Fred J. Hansen Foundation, the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice's (IPJ) Women PeaceMakers program invites women from around the world who have been involved in human rights and peacemaking efforts and who are seeking ways to have greater impact in peacemaking efforts in their society to participate in a multi-week residency at the IPJ. Women on the frontline of efforts to end violence and secure a just peace seldom record their experiences, activities, and insights as generally there is no time, or, perhaps, no formal education that would help women record their stories. This program will also create a network of Women PeaceMakers who may become resources to be called on to serve in peacemaking and post-conflict planning processes internationally. The residency program will require the selected candidates to give presentations at the IPJ and in the San Diego community, and to participate in documenting their stories through writing and videotaping their reflections. Those who are accepted into the Fall 2003 program will be expected to spend 10 weeks at the Institute for Peace & Justice, with shorter-term residency possible. Over that time, their experiences will include the following: collaborating with a graduate or post-graduate student or intern to document personal stories through writing, video, and audiotape; sharing experiences of peacemaking and human rights advocacy with the IPJ community of students and faculty through small group discussions and "town meetings" that are open to the general public; participating in and lending expertise to PeaceMaker Workshops; learning and networking through roundtable discussions, Women PeaceMakers will meet with local and national women leaders involved with human rights and peacemaking efforts as well. Program Cost & Fellowships There is no cost for participation in the Women PeaceMakers Program. The program will provide fellowships to qualified applicants. This funding is to be used for 1) transportation; 2) living expenses (other than housing, which is provided); 3) program books and materials. The Women PeaceMakers Program encourages applicants to seek supplemental funding from local sources, although the funding provided by the IPJ for those selected for the full ten weeks will be sufficient. Lodging Housing will be provided at the Casa de la Paz, "The House of Peace," on the campus of the Institute for Peace & Justice, University of San Diego, or other suitable campus housing. Home-stays may be arranged for shorter-term participants. Invited Women PeaceMakers will have the opportunity to rest and reflect in this beautiful, peaceful, and supportive setting. Please go to http://peace.sandiego.edu/wpmp.shtml for the application details. Note deadline for applying is June 27; there may be some flexibility in fall dates for participants who cannot make the exact dates listed.
