Challenges to Peacebuilding in Mindanao – 2015 January Field Course

Mindanao-400-Route

CCS announces an academic field course “Challenges to Peacebuilding in Mindanao, Philippines” this January (2015). The course will help participants link the theory of peacebuilding to its practice through field research.

Through this course, participants will interact with NGOs, INGOs, religious leaders, government officials, civil society members and members of peace zones in Mindanao. There will be visits to areas in central and northern Mindanao. First hand information gained from these meetings will be analyzed as a group through regular debrief sessions during and after the field trip. Outcomes will be presented through presentations at various forums and through a variety of publications. In Mindanao, the Catholic Relief Services with a long history of peacebuilding will be our host organization.

The course is open to current students – graduate level, but also exceptional undergraduates – enrolled in conflict studies or related disciplines. Practitioners and others interested in learning more about peacebuilding are also welcome. There are no geographic or nationality restrictions at this time.
