The ALPICOM Project

ALPICOM - Adult Training on Conflict Management and Nonviolence

APLICOM membersThe Alpicom project is a Grundtvig learning partnership, a framework for small-scale co-operation activities between organizations working in the field of adult learning.

The aim of our project is to bring together many of the existing networks, some of the most active European adult training centres, research bodies and associations working on conflict management, nonviolence and intercultural communication.

This partnership will improve the quality, content and methodology of peace education and training in conflict management across Europe responding to a strongly recognized need to pool different lessons learned and best-practices.

By developing co-operation between the partners, the project will promote the systematization of informal exchange of good practices and help the gathering of knowledge and experience from 11 countries for innovative approaches in this field. It also aims at increasing the understanding of EU politics of lifelong learning and the capacity management to use EU programmes, especially Grundtvig within the partner organizations.
