SUMMER PROGRAM 2008 VUKOVAR
The Grassroots Experience of Post-Conflict Transformation
The Coalition for Work with Psychotrauma and Peace in Vukovar, Croatia, is delighted to announce its fourth annual Summer Program.
The aim of the program is to give the participant an impression of the reality of a post-conflict area and to establish a dialogue between the students and the hosting organizations and to assist the participant in refining his/her academic skills.
Specifically:
• The participant should learn the practical aspects of work in a post-conflict area in terms of politics, religion, health (mental and physical), civil society, human rights, economics and reconciliation.
• The participant should learn the positive and negative aspects of the work of governmental organizations, international non-governmental organizations and local non-governmental organizations in general and in a specific case.
• The participant should learn various approaches to the problems of post-conflict areas and be able to evaluate them critically.
• The participant should have some idea of the differences between the theoretical approaches to post-conflict areas as put forward in university courses and the reality of the situation.
• The participant should have knowledge of one specific area of post-conflict areas of his or her choice and should be able to apply that to the specific case of Vukovar.
• After successfully completing the course, participants will receive a certificate of completion.
The Summer Program comprises a series of local lecturers and forums offering a platform for discussion on a diverse range of subjects during four week course on post conflict issues, combined with an optional six week project period.
Students and staff will also be offered a recreational program, including excursions, social gatherings and cultural events.
