Learning to Live Together: Using Distance Education for Community Peacebuilding
Baksh, Rawwida, Ed.; Munro, Tanyss, Ed.
Commonwealth of Learning
This book includes a range of community peacebuilding experiences from across the Commonwealth that have been applying open and distance learning (ODL) approaches. The case studies offer insights into the challenges as well as the kinds of interventions that have worked and how they can be built upon. They show that ODL can be an effective and efficient way to involve many of the people most affected by conflict in being part of its prevention, mitigation and resolution. The following essays are included in this book: (1) Using Open and Distance Learning for Community Development (Tanyss Munro and Ian Pringle); (2) Bush Radio in South Africa (Sanjay Asthana); (3) Doorways for Open and Distance Learning in the Kingdom of Lesotho (Kallie de Beer); (4) Creating Spaces for Dialogue on Children's Rights: "Curious Minds" from Ghana (Sanjay Asthana); (5) Learning for Peace Through Community Radio in Northern Uganda: The Case of Radio Apac (Carol Azungi Dralega); (6) Learning Through Radio: The Experiences of Rural Women in Zambia and Zimbabwe (Rashweat Mukundu); (7) Conflict Resolution and Land Reform in Zimbabwe (Herbert Mudzamba); (8) Empowering Women as Peacemakers Through Culture in Bangladesh (S.
