CPS-worker about her daily work and life in Kenya
Your work with AGIAMONDO and Escola Sao Crojes Becora
Responsible and challenging
AGIAMONDO is the personnel service of German Catholics for development cooperation. In the Civil Peace Service (CPS), we offer professionals the opportunity for meaningful service in cooperation with local development actors. The CPS is a personnel program for violence prevention and peacebuilding in crisis and conflict regions. It works for a world in which conflicts are settled without violence. Together with church and civil society partner organizations in Timor-Leste, AGIAMONDO wants to contribute to the civil conflict resolution there and to the sustainable and just development of the country through peacebuilding measures.
The school "Escola Sao Crojes Becora - ESB" in Dili is a catholic school offering education from kindergarten to secondary level. The district of Becora is characterized by a high population density and suffers from the rural exodus, which leads to a strong influx in the district. In recent years, the ESB has developed into a model school in terms of peace education, but it is important to build on these beginnings.
At the same time, the diocese has a strong interest in introducing this successful school experiment to other schools through a "scaling-up".
Timor-Leste is the youngest democracy in Asia whose society still suffers from the consequences of decades of violence. Due to its wealth of natural resources, however, the country is in a very good position to develop positively. Since two-thirds of the current population are under 30 years of age, education and peace education in particular play a central role in creating the basis for peaceful coexistence and in developing and improving social skills.
