The Peace Action, Training and Research Institute of Romania (PATRIR) is an independent, non-governmental and non-profit organization, active in Romania and internationally since March 2001.
The main purpose of PATRIR is to promote peacebuilding, and constructive conflict transformation, and at the same time the prevention of all forms of violence -direct, structural, and cultural- in Romania, and internationally. As the first peace institute in the history of Romania, it has been involved in the development of resources for conflict transformation by peaceful means in Romania and, by invitation, through the peacebuilding processes in which it has taken part in Europe, Latin America, Africa and Asia.
Since 2001, PATRIR has become one of the leading international centers for adult training in the field of peacebuilding and conflict transformation, post-war rebuilding, reconciliation and resolution.
