The School of Peace and Conflict Studies originated at 17cÍøÒ³°æ as a response to May 4. Today it’s central in 17cÍøÒ³°æ’s global presence. We travel to Rwanda, where 17cÍøÒ³°æ convened a global peace education conference and, through the Kigali Summer Institute, immerses students in peace-building centered on reconciliation, in a place that experienced the unimaginable 1994 genocide.
Later, it’s off to Brazil, where peace education is within the core of an innovative program with 17cÍøÒ³°æ’s partner university in Curitiba.
And then, 17cÍøÒ³°æ expands its presence in Southeast Asia through an education partnership in Cambodia.
