As a follow–up to the numerous workshops organised in 2008 on the need to promote peace before, during and after the elections, KAS-TEPPCON Civic Education Programme has integrated peace education into its regular programmes. The programme will be implemented in conflict afflicted and seemingly peaceful areas with different emphasis. The maiden edition of the programme will take place at Sandema.

The two day workshop is under the theme:
