The IPT Core Course comprises theoretical inputs and practical exercises tailored to work in conflict and post-conflict settings. All modules aim at enhancing interpersonal skills, highlighting the importance of cross-cultural partnerships, and promote a reflective and accountable approach towards peacebuilding and crisis management. Thus, relevant modules include for example concepts and strategies of peacebuilding, conflict analysis, third party intervention, do no harm, gender and social inclusion, project management, stress management, mine awareness as well as a complex simulation exercise to strengthen participants’ skills on how to respond in crisis situations.

Throughout the course, participants will be encouraged to work in groups on specific case studies to apply the acquired skills and knowledge and reflect on how they can transfer the learnings into their own fields of work.

Course Fees: € 1,998

for further achievements, endeavours
and opportunities. I loved the relaxed,
open-minded, friendly atmopshere and top-level
of professionalism of the lecturers.
The balanced course composition and the
diversity of the programme covering the

"This course brings together people
from different parts of the world and builds
upon their skills and experiences.
Interactively, we explore peace theories
and concepts of peacebuilding operations,
dive into the world of different players in
the field to learn about their daily work.
We learn about conflict analyses hands-on,
plan and practice third party interventions.
Nothing to lean back, but to move on
together and learn to approach conflicts practically!"
