UPA sessions started in 2003 with the Campus in Ziguinchor/Senegal. Since then UPA continues to gather African Peace Builders every year in different countries all throughout the continent.
There is an autonomous plateforme created and facilitated by UPA Laureates: the Panafrican Union of Peace Builders (UBAPB). Plateforme meetings take place by regional initiative: 2012 (Goma/DRCongo). Since new Charta 2017 (Ouagadougou/Burkina Faso) yearly meetings and local action by PTG (Peace Training Group).
Further more UPA Laureates launche an ambitious project: PUFA - Peace University FROM Africa (Université de Paix à partir de l'Afrique). Well experienced senior AFRICAN Peace Builders suggest to visit local initiatives and communities IN EUROPE and offering training in UPA modules. We invite African diaspora and every other local or instutional initiative seaking desescalation, mangement of (social) conflicts, violence prevention and protect or strengthen social coherance.
