This module provides an in-depth exploration of the intersection between human rights and conflict resolution. Students will examine the fundamental principles of human rights, international law, and the role of conflict mediation in promoting peace, justice, and reconciliation.
Students will learn various conflict resolution approaches, including negotiation, dialogue, and restorative justice, with a particular focus on their application in addressing human rights violations. The course also addresses the ethical and practical considerations in mediating conflicts within a human rights framework, including the importance of inclusivity, cultural sensitivity, and gender perspectives.
ESEI employs a project-based learning and assessment methodology across all modules taught in our master programmes. This innovative approach means students collaborate in groups to develop projects that demand creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities.
The primary advantage of this method is that by the time students graduate, they will have compiled a portfolio of work. This portfolio will be directly relevant to their future roles, whether as employees or business owners, showcasing their hands-on experience and skills.
Project formats vary and are at the discretion of the instructor. Projects can take the form of case studies, written reports, videos, role-playing activities, podcasts, or any other medium that effectively communicates the students’ ideas. Teachers are responsible for creating project briefs and monitoring team progress with regular updates and check-ins.
Projects will be evaluated based on group and individual contributions, as well as the presentation and subsequent Q&A session, highlighting the importance of both collective and personal efforts in achieving project objectives.
A significant portion of the grade, 20%, is determined by students’ engagement and participation in class, reflecting the value placed on active involvement and contribution to the learning environment.
