Simulating Human Rights in Peacebuilding

SHARINPEACE addressed critical gaps in integrating human rights and peacebuilding into higher education and practice, aligning with the "EU Action Plan on Human Rights and Democratisation 2020-202...

SHARINPEACE aimed to strengthen the integration of human rights into conflict management training, fostering greater awareness among students and educators. The core objective was the implementation of an EU-wide, two-part module. The first part focused on equipping students with essential competencies in peace, peacebuilding and human rights, while the second part enabled them to apply these skills in a network-wide Crisis Intervention Simulation (CRIS). By doing so, the project sought to empower students to address pressing societal challenges, including polarisation, populism, and climate change, while fostering a positive attitude towards EU values. The project also aimed to enhance international cooperation among educators and learners, creating a transnational simulation-based learning experience. It sought to advance online teaching and learning practices for a post-pandemic era. Additionally, SHARINPEACE involved policy/peace practitioners at every stage, ensuring the module reflected their expertise and real-world needs while providing tailored strategies to incorporate human rights into conflict management.
