Since the decade-long violent conflict between Maoist groups and the state ended in 2006, Nepal is trying to come to terms with the past while working towards a peaceful future. Nearly 15,000 people lost their lives during the violence and more than thousand people were made to disappear. Numerous others were harmed or displaced. Either directly or indirectly, the violence touched the lives of many. Last May, the government passed an Act to establish a Commission on Enforced Disappearances and a Truth and Reconciliation Commission in order to bring about truth, reconciliation, and justice in society. The Act, however, continues to draw criticism from victims organizations, human rights groups, and the United Nations. As yet, neither one of the commissions have been set up. In tens of villages across the country local reconciliation processes have already been initiated, for example by ex-combatants and host community members, but their scope remains limited. Recognizing that healing and reconciliation are the foundation of any sustainably peaceful society, this training aims to contribute to peace in Nepal by helping participants meet their own needs for healing, reconciliation, joy, connection, and harmony. The training will also increase the skills of the participants, including persons directly involved in the peace process of Nepal, to support healing and reconciliation in and between others in their own families, communities, and constituencies.
