Compétences à acquérir

This course is designed to give M1 AID CTPS students an initial insight into the peace-related professions. It is essential for students wishing to complete the Conflict Transformation & Peace Studies master's degree. The aim is not only to illustrate an initial possibility of peace-related jobs, but above all to get students thinking about: - the very notion of peace, and the fact that it cannot be conceived solely as the absence of war - the translation of situations of armed conflict into everyday life, and the illustration of simple, yet blocking cases that people caught up in situations of war have to manage and resolve, often with limited means at their disposal - the operational activities required to pacify a conflict situation, and their typical difficulties (managing emergencies, making decisions in an uncertain and complex context, etc.).

Description du contenu de l'enseignement

This course is divided into two parts. The first part (9hrs), presented by Prof. Daher, will focus on negotiation practices, through a series of real-life scenarios. Prof. Adrot will follow with conflict management exercises (9hrs), presented in the form of increasingly complex cooperative and serious games.
