The second UPEACE Curriculum Development Workshop for the Central and Eastern region was held in Kampala, Uganda from the 1st to 5th of December, co-hosted with and coordinated by the Makerere University, Uganda's premier institution of higher learning.

The workshop's goal was to focus on teaching the linkages between justice, human rights and peace. It is the second in a set of three sub-regional workshops being organized in 2003 and early 2004 by the UPEACE Africa Programme, bringing together academicians, researchers, and educators from 15 countries to consolidate knowledge and build the basis for mastering the skills needed for the management, resolution, and transformation of conflict. The strategy of curriculum development workshops allowed individual professors, lecturers, and NGO leaders, to come together and rapidly develop from their cumulative experience what amount to immediately applicable teaching strategies.

At the Public Dialogue hosted by the Uganda Human Rights Commission during the workshop, a resolution was presented and supported to launch a global movement towards the adoption of a United Nations Convention on the Human Right to Peace. more..

Field trips were organized to Mpigi and Jinja where workshop participants had the opportunity to interact with Uganda civil society organization involved in peace and human rights work.
