Project

Human rights and peace as key elements of Europe’s shared values and as the cornerstones of our democratic constitutions are fundamentally challenged by today’s multifaceted crises. SHARINPEACE addresses these encounters and aims at qualifying the decision-makers of tomorrow in conceiving and practising human rights as intrinsic part of peacebuilding. SHARINPEACE offers an innovative approach to deal with the challenges of social, ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity in Europe and beyond.

Through SHARINPEACE, students and educators increase their awareness on how to include human rights in the training of conflict management. The core objective is the implementation of an EU-wide organised two-part module. Students will first gain central competences in the interrelated domains of human rights and peacebuilding and, in the second part, put their gained competences in a network-wide Crisis Intervention Simulation (CRIS) into (simulated) practice.

With SHARINPEACE, students acquire competences in human rights and peacebuilding with which they can respond to major societal issues and have a more positive attitude towards the European project and EU values. Educators develop and tighten competences in applied interdisciplinary human rights education and learn about the challenges to include human rights and peacebuilding directly from the policy/peacemakers. The latter, i.e. experts from the European Commission (EC) and representatives of organisations from the civil society join into a close exchange with higher education institutions, and receive tailored concepts on how to include human rights in conflict management.
