Description of the Summer Program
Conflicts over collective identity - including issues of religion, narratives and culture - abound in our world today. Taught by leading scholars and practitioners, this unique program offers four intensive conflict resolution courses focusing on such conflicts and how to creatively deal with them.
The program examines interpersonal level, national and international conflicts, legal and cultural aspects of conflicts, with a focus on identity-based conflicts and a particular emphasis on conflicts found in Israel. The participants come from diverse backgrounds and the program consists of seminars, workshops, simulations, films and guest lectures. This is an interdisciplinary program that deals with our subjects from a variety of perspectives, including law, psychology, religion and culture. The program also includes various social events such as receptions and educational travels in Israel. Upon completion of the complete program (4 courses), a certificate of participation is awarded by the Faculty of Law. Students can request an official university transcript of their graduate level courses and grades for transfer to other institutions.
