IMPROVING their role as community leaders, a group of villagers from the district of Macuata converged in Naduri Village yesterday to share ideas and knowledge of their roles.

The workshop, funded by the European Union and organised by the Pacific Centre for Peacebuilding, is aimed at helping community leaders understand and know how to resolve conflicts in a peaceful way.

Participants included village headmen, youth leaders, women's group leaders and traditional leaders.

PCP training officer Tevita Tokalauvere told participants that it was important for them to understand, identify and know how to resolve conflicts so that the results were agreed by all parties involved.
