The Peacebuilding & Development Summer Institute is one of the first academic programs specifically organised to bridge the two issues of peacebuilding and development. The Institute fosters knowledge, practical experience and skills for practitioners, teachers and students involved in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, humanitarian assistance and development. It will focus on various approaches to mediation, negotiation, facilitation, reconciliation and dialogue, particularly in conflict-torn and developing regions. Participants will explore innovative methods of promoting cultural diversity with respect to public policy, community and religion, war and post-conflict environments while expanding their knowledge and skills in a participatory and interactive learning environment. In addition, participants in the Summer Institute will be exposed to leading national and international professionals in the fields of public policy, peacebuilding and development.
