PTC, Center for Peace Training

The interreligious and interethnic Peace Training Centre (PTC), based in Jos, makes an important contribution to the networking of peace workers, in addition to offering courses in peacebuilding, trauma work and conflict transformation. Through the careful selection of participants and teachers, the PTC plays a bridge-building role between the various ethnic and religious groups in Nigeria. Graduates of the courses are subsequently accompanied in the implementation of their projects, which consolidates and deepens what they have learned. In addition, the PTC conducts fundamental work through conflict research. In this way, the center links theoretical knowledge and current approaches to peacebuilding with local realities.
