After 10 years with 14 training courses, it is was really about time to set-up an Alumni Network on LinkedIn, to give people the chance to stay connected. A training is an intense experience that can inspire real change and creates new connections. Joining the Alumni Nework can help to sustain some of the inspiration.

The Alumni Network connects people from all Peace Power training courses, thus further extending people’s network with others who share an interest in building peace. In this group we can exchange relevant information about peacebuilding and you can join bi-annual Alumni Meetings online, organised around the International Day of Nonviolence on October 2 and the International Women’s Day on March 7. Secondly, there is a 5% discount for alumni on all three books.

Alumni who have done two training courses get a spot light on this page as “Peace Ambassador”.

Majda Kovač strengthened her skills and knowledge through two peacebuilding trainings with Peace Power in 2024 and ’25, which she applies in working with youth and adults to promote a culture of peace and collaboration. She runs a small tourism business, leading adventure tours that combine sustainable tourism, environmental education and conservation. She feels deeply connected to nature, is a vegetarian and supporter of human rights and equality. Through all her work, she aims to create meaningful, positive change in communities and the world around her, believing that even small steps can contribute to lasting peace.

She first encountered peacebuilding three years ago and immediately felt a deep connection to its mission. Since a young age she has been sensitive to social injustice and naturally drawn to standing up for those whose voices often go unheard. Peacebuilding has given her structure, clarity, and a sense of purpose, while supporting her personal growth and inspiring her to “think globally, act locally”.

Dina Mostafa works as a Community Health Coordinator in Egypt, supporting marginalized groups including refugees, indigenous communities, and women. In her work, she uses dialogue and nonviolent communication to navigate conflict and community dynamics, creating spaces where people feel heard, respected, and safe. She first learned about nonviolent communication through a training organized by Peace Power – Foundation of Active Nonviolence in 2024, and continued with a Training for Trainers in 2025.

What struck her most was how challenging it is to remain truly nonviolent especially when provoked and how much grounding and self-care it takes to cultivate inner peace. This insight has deeply shaped the way she approaches her community work, as she continually reflects on her own behavior to communicate with empathy and patience. Dina is grateful for the knowledge and skills she has gained, as peace, empathy, and human dignity are foundational values for her values she believes should be taught widely and nurtured in our everyday life.
