The seminars and lectures cover theoretical topics as the sociology of peace, war and social conflicts, collective memory, conflict theory, national state and state borders, as well as pressing topics as the ongoing official negotiations on the Armenian-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the situation of IDPs and refugees, the role of media and security issues, public diplomacy and peace-building initiatives. Independent experts, scholars and representatives of the state institutions will be invited as guest speakers and trainers.
Undergraduate and graduate students as well as young professionals aged 18-28 are eligible to apply. The selection process will be based on the candidate's expressed interest in the field of conflict and educational merits. Preference will be given to students and graduates of Political Sciences, International Relations, Sociology, Journalism and other relevant fields.
Application forms must be sent to the info@epfound.az e-mail address. The deadline for applications is 13 June 2017, and successful applicants will be notified on 15 June 2017. The language of the program will be Azerbaijani.
The mission of Eurasia Partnership Foundation (EPF) is to empower people to effect change for social justice and economic prosperity through hands-on programs, helping them to improve their communities and their own lives.
