People, Communities, and Cities in Peacebuilding

Höfði Reykjavík Peace Centre offers a one-week intensive course in peace and conflict studies, sponsored by a Nordplus Higher Education grant and an Erasmus+ grant, focusing on people, communities and cities in peacebuilding and an inclusive and intersectional approach to peace studies. 

The course will include lectures, group work and seminars, as well as exercises and simulations, looking into ‘unconventional’ actors in peacebuilding and the variety of ways these actors support or spoil the peacebuilding process. The course objectives are:

  • To assess what role non-state actors (can) have in the peacebuilding process
  • To introduce students to a number of varied case studies of how non-state actors have engaged in peacebuilding

The course brings together many of the leading scholars in the field of peace and conflict studies.
