Short Courses
Bridging research and Practice
These short courses are designed for mid to senior level practitioners, human rights defenders and civil society actors working on peace, justice and security in Africa. They combine critical academic engagement with practice-based insight, drawing on African experience and expertise.
Online Short Courses
We also offer periodic online courses that bring together peacebuilders from across Africa. These courses provide direct insight into local contexts and responses to conflict.
Each session features practitioners who reflect on their work, the challenges they face, and the strategies they use to advance peace and justice. Topics have included peacebuilding in Mozambique, South Sudan and Northern Uganda, as well as issues such as child soldiers in Mali and the legacy of Gukurahundi in Zimbabwe.
