Engaging Conflict: Prevention, Management and Resolution

The Engaging Conflict Summer School is designed to equip committed students, early-career researchers and professionals with advanced tools to critically understand conflict and tackle it as a dynamic reality.

The Engaging Conflict Summer School addresses three core questions:

What is conflict?
How does conflict work?
How can we respond to conflict?

Engaging Conflict’s faculty draws from a unique spectrum of expertise to train a select group of participants in assessing the complexity of conflict and post-conflict scenarios, and evaluating the relevance and impact of different policy choices and normative standings, from non-intervention to conflict prevention and peacebuilding.

Engaging Conflict is a comprehensive learning experience structured around two intensive weeks that combine inputs and lectures by renowned scholars, subject matter experts and practitioners with participatory activities in an informal, yet challenging, environment.
