Participating & Offering the Peace Education Program

All Peace Education Program facilitators are trained by TPRF. To become a facilitator, you must:

• Participate in the Peace Education Program yourself. Once you have participated in the program, if you would like to become a facilitator, write to the help desk at [email protected].
• Complete a three-module, five-hour facilitator development training workshop to learn the program’s learning approach, available course materials and how to work effectively with groups. This training is offered free of charge.
• Although it is not necessary to obtain a TPRF license to facilitate a course, it is necessary to work with a TPRF licensee.

No prior training or experience in facilitation or working with groups is necessary to apply to become a facilitator; however, it is an advantage.
