Conflict is an inseparable part of human interaction. When addressed constructively it can lead to peaceful and positive change. ACT provides innovative research, training and intervention services to help transform destructive conflicts by addressing underlying needs and concerns, building sustainable relationships, and changing the conditions that foster violence. Founded in 1999 to expand the knowledge and practice of conflict transformation and peacebuilding, ACT empowers communities, organizations and governmental agencies to:

  • Develop new conflict resolution capacities
  • Reduce and prevent violence
  • Create relationships and institutions that foster sustainable peace
To accomplish these goals, ACT, in partnership with Nur University, an intensive residential program to build the capacity of current and future professionals to make a critical difference in furthering peaceful relations in the world. This exciting 4-week program includes 3 weeks in Santa Cruz and 1 week in La Paz, the legislative capital city.

IPCR offers a stimulating integration of theory and practice, bringing together innovative academic analysis with practical, hands-on training and skills development, combined with personal and professional development.


IPCR will help participants achieve the following objectives:


  • Improve conflict analysis skills to design effective interventions
  • Develop practical skills to implement peacebuilding and conflict resolution programs
  • Increase capacities for cross-sectoral work
  • Highlight ‘best practices’ in the field
  • Develop ongoing professional networks between participants, program staff and guest speakers to support personal and career development
