CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT

WISCOMP recognizes that in order for education to transform consciousness and worldviews and to orient it towards peace and non-violence, there is a need to bring about change in the existing school and college curriculum as well as develop curriculum that encourages teaching and learning in the fields of conflict transformation and peacebuilding. As part it efforts in this direction, WISCOMP has collaborated with several academic institutions to design curriculum in the areas of conflict transformation and peace education. Some of the programs have also helped identify existing spaces within the curriculum for mainstreaming peace and conflict studies.


Peacebuilding Diploma Program, Lady Shri Ram College

As part of its efforts to encourage teaching in the field of peacebuilding, WISCOMP has collaborated with Lady Shri Ram College (LSR) to introduce a two-year Diploma in Conflict Transformation. The curriculum blueprint has been approved by the University Grants Commission and the University of Peace, Costa Rica. A unique initiative, the program includes modules encompassing conflict transformation and peacebuilding, nonviolence, human rights, gender, justice and reconciliation. The first batch of 25 men and women who successfully completed the diploma program were from diverse backgrounds such as the media, NGOs, corporate sector, the armed forces, academia and research. In July 2008 the fourth batch of twenty nine new students were enrolled in the program.
