授業の目的、または到達目標

To learn how to transform conflict and how to create the culture and the structure of ｐeace.

授業の概要

Students learn a concept of “conflict transformation”， first by the text written by John Paul Lederach， and then by the TRANSCEND theory of Johan Galtung. They also study the roles of the arts to encourage their imagination and creativity. By doing so， they pursue ways to create the culture and the structure of peace. We will have many practical exercises in class and learn to use the skills of conflict transformation. Students are expected to achieve a first goal as a “conflict/peace worker”.

授業の形態

• Lectures， discussions， presentations， workshops， reports， and an essay.
