The Dilemma of Human Rights in Peacebuilding
Syllabus
Authors: SHARINPEACE Team
This report presents a general syllabus for the module implemented in SHARINPEACE. It is an innovative, interdisciplinary programme designed to explore the intersection of human rights and peacebuilding in conflict and post-conflict societies. It runs for 8-12 weeks and combines theoretical foundations with practical skills through immersive, role-based simulations. The curriculum consists of three modules: foundational lectures, role development supported by expert insights, and a culminating simulation exercise in which students take on stakeholder roles to navigate real or fictional conflict scenarios. The course promotes critical thinking, inclusivity and professional skills such as diplomacy and conflict resolution. Flexible in format (face-to-face, hybrid or online), it caters for diverse student groups and is adaptable to different institutional requirements. Assessment emphasises participation, analytical essays and reflective learning. By integrating real-life case studies such as the Cyprus conflict or customised scenarios, the course equips participants with the analytical tools and experiential knowledge needed for effective engagement in peacebuilding processes.
