Musicians without Borders invites applications for a Training of Trainers in July 2015. We are looking for musicians with experience in community work and/or social activism who are interested in expanding their skills based on our unique expertise.

For over 15 years, our team of trainers have been running community music programs in places struggling with trauma, fear and isolation as a result of war and conflict.

The training content corresponds with the overall mission of Musicians without Borders: to use music to connect communities, bridge divides, and heal the wounds of war. Our three core values, which run as a thread throughout the training, are:

• Cultivating a culture of nonviolence;
• Increasing empathy among all participants;
• Using music as a tool for inclusion and bridging divides.

More information on the training curriculum is available here.

Time: Five day-long training sessions, 14-18 July

Place: Lioba School of Peace / School Voor Vrede, Egmond Binnen, The Netherlands

Cost: We are working to keep the cost of participation low. We now estimate the price at 500-700 Euros per person including all training and material costs and full room and board. Participants must cover their own travel expenses.

Application: Submit your application online here  (http://goo.gl/forms/cZBn0mfF2R)
