Summer Peacebuilding Institute 2012

Summer Peacebuilding Institute 2012

May 7 – June 15, 2012 | Courses | Instructors | Apply online!

Intended for people active in peacebuilding and related fields, SPI – the Summer Peacebuilding Institute – offers three 7-day sessions and one 5-day session, each with five courses running concurrently. Courses can be taken for professional skills training or master’s level academic credit.
SPI offers courses that are useful and intellectually stimulating to anyone interested in learning more about peacebuilding and related fields. Participants are encouraged to reflect and to share from their own experiences in the “safe space” created by SPI. Minds and hearts are further opened with conversations outside class, laughter, volleyball, and group meals. More info…

Learning community

The SPI community is one of mutual respect and learning. An interactive approach is used in the classroom to draw upon the rich experiences of participants as well as instructors, but the classroom is only one of the places where learning takes place. Outside of class there is much informal sharing of personal stories, cultural values and new possibilities.
