The Summer Peacebuilding Institute (SPI) is excited to be back in person this May and June with 18 courses spread over four sessions! What better way is there for you to learn about some of the courses occurring at SPI than to hear straight from the instructors?

We have interviewed many of the instructors teaching at SPI to help you decide if the course is right for you.  These are very short, two to three minute interviews, to answer the following questions:

• What is this course about?
• Who should take this course and why?
• What skills will participants leave with?
• Why did you, the instructor, want to teach at SPI?

Click the course title below for the short video interview and the course description: 

• Analysis: Understanding Conflict (May 16 - 24, 2022)
• Designing Powerful Solutions With(In) Community (May 16 - 24, 2022)
• Economics for Emancipation (May 16 - 24, 2022)

• Forgiveness and Reconciliation (May 26 - June 3, 2022)
• Formation for Peacebuilding Practice  (May 26 - June 3, 2022)

• Theatre for Transformation (June 6 - 10, 2022)
• Integrating Empathy and Equity in Working for Social Change  (June 6 - 10, 2022)
• Disrupting and Connecting for Social Change (June 6 - 10) (Note, this is from the CJP podcast series, not a video)
