Teaching and learning in HEI in times of war and growing social conflict is challenging. NAVINCLASS focuses on how broader political and social conflicts are present in the classroom and shape education. The aim is to develop guidelines and workshops based on Peace & Conflict Studies approaches. NAVINCLASS doesn’t see conflict in the classroom as negative per se, but as an opportunity to inform learning processes. However, they must be processed and addressed in a constructive manner.
