Conflicts in 2020 remain systemically complex. Local, domestic and national conflicts usually have regional and geopolitical dimensions. How do peace practitioners navigate the complexity, as well as handling the new online, virtual environment?
In this webinar, Dr. Emma Leslie, Executive Director of the Cambodia based Centre For Peace and Conflict Studies, provides insights of her experiences in the Philippines, Korean Peninsula and Myanmar peace processes. As a regionally recognised peace leader based in Cambodia, she will provide fresh insights into the way we approach conflict and reinvent conflict theory, while staying grounded in practice.
A call for peace practitioners and peace process facilitators to get creative, embrace change and challenge themselves to sophisticated and clever conflict transformation. Dialogue and peace building are more relevant as the world shifts into new ways and strengthens its resilience. How will peacebuilders keep pace and remain relevant?
Emma is currently the Director of the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies in Cambodia and as an Associate of the UK based organisation Conciliation Resources. Since 2011 she has served as a member of the International Contact Group, which actively supports the peace negotiations between the Government of the Philippines and the Moro Islamic Front (MILF) in Malaysia; and has had observer status at several rounds of Myanmar Government peace talks with ethnic armed groups. Twice a year Emma teaches United Nations personnel mediation at the Swedish government institute the Folke Bernadotte Academy. In 2008, she co-founded the Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies (CPCS), which is a home to a range of interconnected programs that promote the advancement of peace processes, research and learning which has worked actively in Timor Leste, Myanmar, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
