• A series of online roundtables and workshops (Jan–July 2026) focused on core themes and case studies in environmental peacebuilding.
• An intensive in-person training in Ottawa (June 2026) on project management, community organising and applied environmental peace-practice followed by participation in the conference.
• Mentored writing and publication of policy-relevant short articles by Fellows, to support professional development and contribute to the field.
