About the Summer Program
The Summer Professional Training Program provides trainings to foreign aid workers, government officials, conflict resolution practitioners, and others working in conflict zones to complement their daily field work.
Experienced trainers guide participants through sessions to explore the relationships between religion, culture, human rights, and applied theories in peacebuilding and development work. Participants explore innovative methods, while expanding their knowledge and skills in a participatory and interactive learning environment.
The Summer Institute is one of the first academic programs specifically organized to bridge the fields of peacebuilding and development.
