A Kano-based organisation, Dar Al Andalus Centre for Conflict Resolution and Peace- Building is organising a two-day workshop for journalists in Bauchi State on peace-building and journalism.

The workshop which is on “Peace Journalism” comprises “Sharia intelligence, constructive alternative narratives and the role of journalism in the prevention of extremism and violence” is scheduled to hold on May 20 and May 21, 2024.

This was made known by Ja’afar Isa Dauda, Programme Manager of Dar Al Andalus Centre (DAAC).

Established six years ago, DAAC concentrates on workshops, seminars and skills training for Ulama and religious leaders, traditional rulers, community eaders, women, youths, IDPs and journalists.

The Programme Manager said the training is organised in consonance to the global concept of peace-building which the UN has defined as aiming to reduce the risk of lapsing or relapsing into violent conflict by strengthening the capacities at all levels for conflict management, and to lay the foundation for sustainable peace and development.

He said Resource persons include Shaikh Nuru Lemu (IET Minna); Prof. Mansur Yelwa (BUK Law); Dr. Abubakar Alhassan (BUK Mass Comm); among others.

He then urged all of the participants to commit and dedicate the entire two days to the workshop in order to achieve maximum results.
