Trauma and Reconciliation: Educational Perspectives
Wars, violence, and terror leave deep and lasting scars—not only through death and physical harm but also by eroding trust in others and reshaping entire communities. Even those not directly affected by violence can experience its ripple effects, impacting their ability to communicate, connect, and trust institutions.
How can education help break this cycle? In this seminar, we will explore trauma—what it is, how it manifests, and how it affects individuals and societies. We will then dive into innovative educational approaches that address trauma and foster reconciliation. Our discussions will center on the Israel/Palestine conflict, but we will also examine powerful reconciliation efforts in post-apartheid South Africa and post-genocide Rwanda.
Through thought-provoking readings (including English-language texts), films, and discussions with international experts, we will critically engage with real-world examples and strategies for healing and peacebuilding.
This seminar is interactive, and active participation is encouraged!
