Academic Presentation

Conflict is present and destructive at all levels of life and society. Our still-new century is rife with inter-personal conflicts that are expressed and originated on various accounts: ethnic, religious, psychological, economic, etc. Because conflict is so damaging to society, mediation and conflict resolution has become a very important skill, one that can be applied to serve many organizations and government bodies.

These are some of the critical topics covered in EUCLID’s unique online Master in Mediation and Conflict Resolution – unique because offered by an international intergovernmental organization committed to facilitating dialogue and conflict resolution, as well as unique for being delivered completely is distance / online format.

The EUCLID online master in mediation and conflict resolution is also unique for blending personal level psychology with high-level issues (diplomacy, inter-religious dialogue) and practical skills (negotiation), the purpose being to offer a comprehensive coverage of this broad topic.
