GIZ’s Civil Peace Service (CPS) programme „Dealing with the past and shaping a future free of violence – strengthening non-violent conflict transformation approaches for sustainable peace in Nepal” aims at creating spaces for non- violent conflict transformation. It does so through support to dialogue forums, community mediation, Nonviolent Communication, conflict-sensitive media and theatre for conflict transformation. CPS endorses local actors to implement holistic approaches to Dealing with the Past (DwP) promoting justice, reconciliation, and healing. The DwP Team consists of two national and one international peace advisor and works with victims’ groups such as the National Network of Disabled Conflict Victims (NNDCV), the Conflict Victims Committee (CVC) Bardiya, and the Disappeared Citizen’s Memorial Park to enhance their capacities and to conduct meaningful memory work that fosters intra-personal and inter-personal healing.
