Thirty Six Stories

In the late 1990s, the first students enrolling in the graduate program of what is now the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding (CJP) – then known as the Conflict Transformation Program (CTP) – came from backgrounds that differed so widely, it is hard to believe that most of them now refer to certain shared values, to having a common base, as if they were members of one family, even if scattered around the globe functioning in vastly different work environments.

Our 36 Alumni

These 21 men and 15 women arrived at CJP from 1994 through 1998 after having lived and worked in a total of 33 countries. They all completed their studies before 2001. These are CJP’s earliest graduates (with their current place of residence), except for one we could not locate.
