Summer Institute on Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution (IPCR) 2006
June 10 July 1, 2006
Santa Cruz, Bolivia
The Alliance for Conflict Transformation (ACT), in partnership with Nur University, is pleased to announce the Summer Institute on Peacebuilding & Conflict Resolution (IPCR) in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, June 10 July 1, 2006. IPCR is an intensive 3-week residential program intended to build the capacity of current and future professionals in a variety of fields to make a critical difference in furthering peaceful relations in the world.
We are currently accepting applications for English speaking professionals, graduate and upper-level undergraduate students in peace and conflict resolution, international affairs, political science, Latin American studies, anthropology, development and related fields.
AT IPCR, students enjoy a supportive learning environment where experienced trainers and faculty combine brief lectures, case studies, field trips, role-plays, simulations, and field work with the experiences of local and international peacebuilding practitioners.
IPCR offers a stimulating integration of theory and practice, bringing together innovative academic analysis with practical, hands-on training and skills development. Participants will learn about these topics and more:
Conflict analysis & assessment
Conflict resolution and peacebuilding practices
Cross-sectoral approaches to peacebuilding and conflict resolution (i.e., with development, human rights, etc)
Post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation
Skills development in negotiation, mediation, facilitation, project design, and evaluation
Careers in peacebuilding and conflict resolution
In addition to gaining a basic understanding of conflict analysis and a set of practical skills applicable to a variety of fields, I truly benefited from having access to real-world practitioners and the exposure to an insiders view of regional conflicts. IPCR is practical, hands-on, and highly recommended for anyone interested in pursuing a professional career in conflict resolution, peacebuilding, or related fields.
