International Summer School 2013
The
INCORE Summer School provides a structured learning opportunity
to analyse the dynamic and constantly changing field of conflict
resolution and peacebuilding. Focusing on the latest research
and concepts in peace and conflict studies and practice; participants
are invited to compare, contrast and learn from different perspectives.
The
School offers a unique opportunity to create links between theory,
practice and policy. Special attention is given to how the experience
and research of both practitioners and academics can impact upon
policy makers within the field of conflict resolution, peacemaking,
peacebuilding and reconciliation.

Relations, UK Department for International Development, World Food
Programme, UN Department for Peacekeeping Operations (DPKO) and

The
2013 International Summer School ran from 17th - 21nd June.
We are offered two courses:
- Culture
and Peacebuilding
Dr Stephen Ryan
and Professor Brandon Hamber (INCORE)
In 2013 Londonderry/Derry is going to be the UK City of
Culture. It therefore
seems appropriate that INCORE will offer a new module on Culture and Peacebuilding
as part of its Summer School during this year. Following a general overview
of the relationships between culture and peace and an investigation of some key
theories in this field, there will be a day each devoted to drama, sport and
the moving image and their contribution to peacebuilding. The module will
focus on experiential learning and use a range of contributors including academics
and practitioners from Northern Ireland, and participants will also have
an opportunity to make presentations about their own work or that of their
organizations.
- Peacemaking
and Peacebuilding in Northern Ireland
Professor Gillian Robinson and Dr. Brendan Lynn
(INCORE)
This module is aimed specifically at undergraduates or individuals interested
in exploring the lessons from Northern Ireland in terms of peacemaking and peacebuilding.
Through a series of lectures and workshops with INCORE staff and invited speakers
participants will be able to examine some of the key themes and issues for themselves.
The subject matter to be covered will include an introduction to conflict transformation
and peacebuilding theory; peacemaking and the new political disposition in Northern
Ireland; justice, truth and reconciliation; victims, survivors and commemoration;
and public opinion and attitudinal change in Northern Ireland.
