Rhodes, Greece – July 24 - 30, 2005

at the university of the aegean

in association with the

peace education center, teachers college columbia university

The 2005 International Institute on Peace Education (IIPE) will be hosted by
the FAM Network (Femme-Art-Méditerranée, Women Artists of the Mediterranean)
and the University of the Aegean, in Rhodes, Greece, and organized in
association with the Peace Education Center of Teachers College, Columbia
University.  IIPE, founded in 1982 by the Peace Education Program of
Teachers College, has been held annually in different parts of the world.
It is a multicultural and cooperative learning opportunity in which
participants learn from each other about substantive peace issues and
interactive teaching approaches.  The Institute is also an opportunity for
networking and community building among those who educate and work for a
culture of peace in the Mediterranean region and internationally.  The
program will consist of plenaries, workshops, reflection groups, and visits
to community projects.

IIPE 2005 will focus on education as a movement for constructive social
change. Arts methodologies and production processes will be used to examine
nonviolent strategies to overcome the global web of violence and warfare.
Participants are invited to grapple with urgent global concerns such as
ethnic conflict, social disruption and displacement, ecological damage,
censorship and repression, human rights abuses and breaches of international
law. These will be explored through the lens of innovative arts approaches.

As in previous IIPE’s, this Institute will draw on the experiences and
insights of diverse peace educators from all world regions helping us learn
from each other's experiences and strategies.  Cultural diplomacy, peace
music, political and legislative theater, ecological art, documentary film
as an educational tool, peace movement uses of new media technologies, and
arts therapies for post-conflict trauma are some of the arts-action
strategies for social transformation that will comprise the program.

APPLICATION PROCESS

Applications forms for participation are available by request be sending an
email to
peace-ed at tc.edu. You can also visit our website to download a copy at
www.tc.edu/PeaceEd/iipe.

Acceptance for participation in the IIPE is based upon the goal of the
development and strengthening of peace education in the host region and
contributing to a more global perspective on peace education among all
participants.  As much as we would like to accept everyone who applies, the
number of applicants usually exceeds the places at each institute. The IIPE
attempts to practice the principles of peace education by engaging all
participants in our short term learning community in an experience of
participatory learning in which all of us can learn from each-other.  We
have found that increasing our numbers diminishes the importance of this
aspect of the institute, so we are unable to accept all applicants.

Among other criteria, first priority is given to those applicants coming
from the surrounding host region including those from the Middle East and
the Balkans.  The IIPE attempts to explore themes and issues that are
particularly relevant to the host region and works to build regional
solidarity among peace educators. Thus, a minimum of 50% of the participants
will come from this area.  In selecting the remainder of the international
participants we attempt to maintain a geographical balance and variety in
experience and substantive expertise.  All applicants should specifically
demonstrate that they will apply their peace education learnings in their
countries or local communities.

TEACHERS COLLEGE STUDENTS

Teachers College students may register to attend the IIPE for academic
credit under summer course ITSF 4800.  As indicated above, there are many
criteria considered in the selection process for participation so we
recommend that you apply as early as possible.

REQUEST FOR SCHOLARSHIP SUPPORT

Unfortunately the IIPE does not have a formal scholarship program.  The
institute traditionally operates on a self-sustaining basis in which all
participants, including the organizers and presenters pay their own travel
and participation fees or find their own funding.  Each year numerous
applicants request various amounts of scholarship support.  Although we are
generally fortunate to be able to find a limited amount of funding to
provide fee waivers for a very few individuals, we are unable to fulfill the
needs of the requests from many in areas most in need of peace education.

PLEASE HELP FUTURE EDUCATORS TO PARTICIPATE

We hope you might consider a contribution to the IIPE to fund scholarships
for participants from currency poor and post conflict countries.  Your
generosity will help ensure that those potential participants in greatest
need of training and solidarity will be able to attend the institute.  We
would be grateful for any amount you may be able to donate.  All donations
are tax deductible.  To donate, please clip and return the following form to
the address indicated.
