Tibetan Peacebuilding and Leadership Training

During the last training conducted by IMTD, the Tibetan community in India identified Cultural Preservation, Youth Leadership, and Volunteerism as three main areas that they would like future training in.  After consulting with Tibetan community members in the United States and India, training modules for a 2 week youth leadership training program has been developed. The purpose of the training program is to develop skills in the Tibetan youth that will help them address practical concerns affecting the daily life of the community in India. A brief outline of the training modules is provided below:

1) Define the problem of concern to your community, history/origins of the problem, who are the various stakeholders in the problem, what are the multiple perspectives of the problem?

2) What is being done currently to address the problem? what is working and what is not working, what are the implementation difficulties if anything is being done about the problem?

3) What do you think needs to be done? your vision and developing a roadmap to the vision:
