The Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) Peace Mediation & Dialogue targets future mediators interested in understanding how negotiation, mediation, and dialogue can promote peace processes. The program runs from fall to fall. The three modules take place at the cultural center kHaus in Basel or in a virtual format.
Peace mediation, political negotiations, and strategic and national dialogues are practical and effective avenues for transforming violent conflicts. This postgraduate program offers an introduction to the different concepts and their application in cases. Combining theoretical elements, experiences from different conflict contexts, and practical methods, the CAS Peace Mediation & Dialogue provides you with the necessary knowledge and skills to better analyse, support or conduct negotiations, mediation, and dialogue initiatives in the context of peace processes.
