Reflections by Practitioners: Training on Religion and Security in Conflict for Peacebuilding

Abstract

Terms like ‘religion’ and ‘secularity’ are fluid and context-dependent. So, how can educators design effective courses for peace practitioners, policy makers and mediators on the role of these concepts in conflict? This report responds by summarizing good practices for course organizers and curriculum developers dealing with these issues, based on the insights gathered at a practitioner exchange that took place at the University of Groningen in May 2017.
