ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES Institute for Peace and Dialogue, IPD
2nd International Summer Academy on Peacebuilding & Intercultural Dialogue
17-27 August 2014 Baar, Switzerland
Project Introduction

IPD is very glad to announce its next International Summer Academy in Peace-building & Intercultural
Dialogue, which is going to be held in Switzerland 2014. Its image as one of the most favorable places for
traveling has made it more interesting to offer an exited and comprehensive program for our participants.
Our experts, who are professionals in their fields, will contribute to this event, with many years of
experience in peace and conflict studies.
Nowadays unfortunately several frozen or ongoing conflicts between or within states still exist. Conflicts
are different and if we look to the world mankind, how they are facing many new challenges, coupled with
new dangerous situations, i.e. terrorist acts, non-legal arming of conflict sides, re-determination of borders,
establishing new countries in the world map, non-providing territorial integrity, trafficking of arms, drugs
and human; disputes on the implementation of transnational energy projects, democratization and false
elections, revolution and internal political conflicts, armed guerrilla movements, violation and
discrimination by nationalists, world economic crisis, climate change and unsafely biodiversity etc.
Unfortunately the list is long. Conflicts are related and an integral part of human beings, as conflicts cause
violation of human rights.
Existing conflicts weaken every kind of cooperation between nations and states. Without mutual
cooperation and understanding, the future prosperity of the region would remain only as a good dream.
Taking into consideration of peaceful behavior and engagements, we can make a decision on the strict
belief, that opportunities for solving conflicts are feasible. Because in every conflict situation and tension
forms we consequently face the below mentioned common situations:
1. Desperate situation and non-solving problems are not eternal;
2. It is possible to make common decision which both sides;
3. We can find common values, traditions and similar situation among conflict parties;
4. Protracted conflicts on the same time endanger regional development and prosperity;
5. Any mediation and negotiation actions are better than nothing.
Weekly Newsletter on Career and Academic Opportunities Main Goal

The main goal of the summer academy is to support institutional academic peace education and strengthen
peace-building skills and intercultural dialogue of the international society.

Methodology

Within the international summer academy we plan to include different workshops, lectures, presentations,
interactive group works, brainstorming on conflict places, mediation operations and peace negotiation
activities as well as case studies on ongoing-fragile conflicts in the world (depends experts availability).
Participants will acquire knowledge and skills from lecturers/experts who are working on peace building,
mediation, negotiation, conflict transformation, intercultural dialogue and non-violence and other
correspond fields at the research centers, universities, INGOs and state organs.
In the training, both visual/dynamic methods will be used, such as schedules, tests, surveys, direct
interviews, distribution of questionnaires and other methods of observation. Every expert will take 3 days
for his lecture and workshops. We will send educational materials and daily programs of the summer
academy to the selected participants.
Beside the academic-educational side a huge cultural programme every day after the courses is planned. As
an opportunity to learn the international atmosphere better, an international evening will
be organized, where a cultural presentation with several traditional foods, meals, drinks, fruit/dry fruit,
sweets, national songs, souvenirs, traditional dress etc. of different countries is thought.
