swisspeace course: Communicating Peace & Conflict (virtual course, 4 half-days)
Communicating peace and conflict can be crucial in serving peacebuilding purpose. Traditionally, mass media have been disseminating information that shape public opinion on peace and conflict. Over the past decade, digital technologies have created new opportunities for the inclusion of individuals in communication activities. At the same time, several challenges have emerged, such as issues of confidentiality, credibility, trust, privacy, and security. Course participants will critically reflect on trends, challenges, and practice of communicating peacebuilding.
This course will be offered in an interactive virtual format. The course consists of preparatory readings, 4 virtual course half days (1-4 September 2021, afternoons CET), and individual tasks in-between course days. In between course days, participants will work independently on readings, individual tasks, and reflect on their own work context.
Please direct your question to Magdalena Boucaud.
Deadline for applications: 30 June 2022.
