Bridging the Gap between Education and Practice in Peacebuilding and Human Rights
The SHARINPEACE Crisis Intervention Simulation: A Policy Brief for University Educators
Authors: Oscar Noach, Chiara De Franco and Ingvild Bode
This policy brief offers an overview of the Crisis Intervention Simulation (CRIS) that the Erasmus+ funded SHARINPEACE project developed as an educational tool. Addressed to university educators, we summarise the benefits CRIS offers to bridge the gap between classrooms and policymaking on human rights and peacebuilding.
The SHARINPEACE project (2021-2024) focused on equipping future European decision-makers with the skills necessary to integrate human rights into peacebuilding efforts. This educational initiative addressed the gap between academic training and the practical skills required in real-world crisis situations. The project developed a two-part online module consisting of preparation through lectures on the one hand, and applied simulation sessions on the other hand, using the Cyprus conflict as a case to teach students essential competencies and practical skills in human rights and peacebuilding.
