The Role of Slovenia |
| 2008-11-23 |
| 23.-30 November 2008 in
Ljubljana, Ig, Novo Mesto and Postojna.
The in-country seminar in Slovenia formed part of a 7-day student exchange Workshop examining “Neighbourhood Cooperation and Bridge-Building Peace Policy: The Role of Slovenia”, hosted by the University of Ljubljana. Organized by the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg (IFSH), the aim is to develop an Academic Network of South East Europe, with a focus on peacebuilding within the educational curricula.
PDCI provided a presentation on conflict prevention and peacebuilding practice, main findings from other IfP case studies, EU peacebuilding policies and practice, as well as the Initiative for Peacebuilding project. The IfP case study researchers focused on opportunities and challenges of Slovenian ODA processes as well as analysis of public knowledge of and support for Slovenian participation in international development cooperation. Public support for participation in international peace missions has declined in recent years and indicates a strong need for further education about peacebuilding and ODA in Slovenian society.
