The Canadian School of Peacebuilding (CSOP) is an institute of CMU, a Christian university that is rooted in the historic Anabaptist tradition of peace, justice and service. Drawing on our 480 year faith-based peace tradition, we want to create a space where people from different backgrounds and perspectives can connect in positive and respectful ways—learning together, supporting each other and creating networks of engaged peacebuilders. The CSOP is for peacebuilders from all faiths, countries and identity groups. The CSOP community is shaped by this ethic of respect and collaboration. The CSOP is a community of peacebuilders - local and international, young and old, students and practitioners, and those new to peacebuilding- who come together for personal inspiration, professional development, or academic credit.
