TOG Conflict Resolution Training Program Recognizing the need and the benefit of teaching youth how to manage conflicts, HasNa conducted a two day conflict resolution and mediation training sessions for Toplum Gönüllüleri (TOG) volunteers and staff in Istanbul in 2008. TOG is an organization that seeks to achieve peace and social change by engaging the youth sector in volunteer projects. The youth volunteers develop and lead projects themselves, an experience which will help them make greater contributions as adults but also underscores the need for conflict resolution training that will enhance their leadership capabilities. Summer Camp Teachers Training Program
In 2006, HasNa sponsored a one week training program for teachers at a summer camp in Sanliurfa, Turkey. The thirteen participants learned conflict resolution skills as well as teaching methods that incorporate inquiry-based learning. The skills the participants learned provided an instant and direct benefit to the 160 children that they taught at the camp in Sanliurfa. The children, who came from many cultural backgrounds, ranged in age from twelve to fifteen years. The curriculum at the camp centered on learning about agriculture, English language and computer skills in addition to traditional camp activities. The need for training the camp teachers on instructional methods was vital, as some of the instructors had no prior experience in teaching. In addition, the conflict resolution training was beneficial in dealing with conflicts that would inevitably arise while working with children. English Language Teacher Training Program
In 2006, HasNa held a training program for twenty-five English language teachers in Sanliurfa, Turkey. The training, which was led by Bennett Lindauer of Georgetown University’s Center for Intercultural Education and Development, sought to provide the teachers with the skills and techniques to become more effective instructors and to increase English-language proficiency in the region. While participants of the training program already taught English language at a range of levels, from primary school level all the way through high school level, none had previously received the type of training that HasNa’s program was able to offer. The program succeeded in sparking a lot of interest in the English teachers and has consequently helped to improve the English language skills of Sanliurfa’s youth. CYDD Conflict Resolution Training Program
CYDD is a Turkish volunteer institution that uses its skills and experience to help Turkey achieve a better civil society. It focuses on teaching young women and housewives skills that would help them find jobs and achieve financial independence. In 2006, HasNa taught CYDD staff in Istanbul conflict management and how to solve problems, assured that the knowledge would benefit them in their jobs or in their volunteer work. Some of these people go to villages in southeastern Turkey to try to convince fathers to send their daughters to school.
In keeping with our goal to continually support
the development of HasNa program graduates, HasNa sponsored English
language classes for past HasNa training participants living in
Sanliurfa in 2005. English language training for HasNa graduates
is necessary for success in the global sphere and to support sustainable
development in the southeastern region of Turkey. This type of training
also empowers HasNa graduates to build even further on the skills
they have learned and to make greater contributions to their communities. |
