CoPeSe was founded as a community-of-practice on social networks (Xing and LinkedIn group) based on the assessment that such an offer was missing back in 2006.

Some years later, it reached its critical mass and the number of members in these groups literally exploded. Thus, it naturally developed into probably the largest network of Conflict Transformation, Peacebuilding and Security experts worldwide, counting more than 32k members on its main LinkedIn group alone.

Having grown up, CoPeSe now moved into this independent platform to foster its further development. In addition to being a relevant platform in the fields of Conflict Transformation and Peacebuilding, we also want to promote your work, your training and study programmes, your books, your contributions to world peace; hence remaining true to our initial mission: connect, exchange, promote.
