The Centre for the Study and Practice of Conflict Resolution has had a very busy academic year 2018/19!
We were happy to host another cohort of 11 students pursuing the dual MA Conflict Resolution & Mediterranean Security degree programme offered with George Mason University's School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution. As part of this programme we organised visits to Parliament, the European Asylum Support Office as well as the Embassy of Ireland. Our students also made good use of the Gozo Campus with part of the Environmental Conflict module being delivered there over a 3-day period.

Some of our other highlights this year were ...
We published an e-book titled 'Contemporary Issues in Conflict Resolution' ... Organised a number of public lectures addressing diverse issues ranging from media and terrorism to Trump's politics ... Cooperated with the Department of International Relations in organising a lecture on post-conflict justice, while together with the International Institute for Justice and the Rule of Law we hosted a seminar on Countering Terrorism Through the Rule of Law ... We also collaborated with KSU offering a 2-day faciitation skills training for students on campus ... Celebrated the upcoming 10th anniversary of the dual Masters programme with an alumni event at the George Mason University Arlington Campus ... and most recently we hosted the kick-off meeting of the Russia-USA-EU Trialogue with colleagues from American University, Russian International Affairs Council and George Mason University.
Finally, as from January 2019 we have been working on an Erasmus+ project focusing on Integration of Migrants Through Education, which also involves partners from Portugal, Austria, France and Cyprus.
