Peacebuilding & Development Institute
Summer 2007 Professional Training Program at
American University
Washington, D.C. U.S.A.
The Peacebuilding & Development Summer Institute is one of the first academic programs specifically organized 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.
The Summer 2006 Institute welcomed nearly 150 participants from 35 countries. They came from a wide range of backgrounds: professionals from international agencies such as the UN, World Vision, CARE, Mercy Corps, and USAID; Master’s degree students from the School for International Service at American University; and scholars and practitioners from a variety of other fields. The diversity of participants is one of the most important and unique components of every Summer Institute.
