Training Course on Minorities and Conflict
ECMI and the Initiative on Quiet Diplomacy have designed a new training course on minorities in conflict related contexts.
The first of its kind will take place at Flensborghus (Danish Minority Cultural Centre) in Norderstrasse 76, Flensburg, Germany on 3—6 July 2012.
The course responds to an increasing demand for specific courses on minorities in conflict situations. The intention is to strengthen practitioners’ knowledge and capacities to address the dynamics of minority/ies – majority/ies relations in contexts of conflict.
Minorities and Conflict seeks to respond to the needs of a variety of practitioners, including:
Young diplomats
International organizations’ officials
NGO representatives
The training course will assist participants in understanding and assessing the role of minorities in conflict related contexts.
The training contents
The course provides insights into different types of conflicts and the various management approaches that are employed across the globe. By examining the types of actors and institutions involved in conflicts the course provides an overview of existing international protection regimes, dialogue mechanisms, and options and techniques for quiet diplomacy.
At the end of the course participants will be able to:
Demonstrate competency over the key issues of minority rights protection (ethnic diversity, social complexity, and etcetera), including knowledge of international protection mechanisms
Describe contemporary inter-ethnic conflicts’ structure and dynamics
Identify and address the potentially dangerous dynamics of the minority/ies - majority/ies paradigm in conflict related contexts
Apply theoretical knowledge and practical skills for diversity management (linguistic, religious and cultural, and etcetera).
The course will be offered in English. Certificates of attendance will be awarded to participants who complete the course.
