Community Building in Post-Conflict Mitrovica, Kosovo

‘’Community building is a part of the peacebuilding process; aims to restore the non-physical aspects of trust, hope, identities, and social ties. Community building intends to overcome the community contradictions that caused conflict through transform of a community by means of changing perceptions and behaviors of individuals, inter-group relations, and social structures. Many post-conflict regions are characterized by a divided community. A divided community can be the cause, effect or both of the previous conflict. Community building aims to eliminate the community division. ’’

On the link above you may find a study made in Mitrovica on: Community Building in Post-Conflict  and to What Extent is the Political Context Decisive?

This thesis was completed few years ago by Tobias Geerdink, but that applies still nowadays in Kosovo and elsewhere because while we read this, a conflict is underway in this world.
