LBD Training Workshops

LBD1 and LBD2 forums were organised through cooperation between Eubios Ethics Institute, RUSHSAP at UNESCO Bangkok, and other partners.

The partners for LBD3 were University of Hyogo, Eubios Ethics Institute who organised LBD2 (but not UNESCO), and American University of Sovereign Nations (AUSN).

LBD4 and LBD5 were held in 2014 with the global network of EEI and since LBD3 these have been linked to AUSN Postgraduate Certificate in Community and Peace.

At LBD5 we had the conveners of every previous LBD training all together!

Follow the links above to subsequent LBD forums.

For the profiles of trainees and action plans please visit the individual pages of each training event. Youth Ambassadors are listed separately, and more are expected to be awarded.

LBD has ongoing cooperation with a daughter organization, Youth Beyond Disasters, and 20 universities and organizations around the world.

Note: There have also been other events called LBD held.  If you would like to develop a LBD event that will be formally recognised for postgraduate education credts we are open to suggestion. Register your interest in LBD associated events through lookingbd@gmail.com
