This course invites students to explore the intersections of peacebuilding and sustainability in a global context. Through a mix of online modules, multimedia content, and reflective practice, learners engage with key concepts such as restorative dialogue, cultural empathy, environmental justice, and active global citizenship. They examine real-world case studies, participate in digital storytelling projects, and collaboratively design action plans addressing local or global issues—from school-based climate initiatives to peer-mediation programs.

Students will critically reflect on their personal roles as changemakers, deepen their understanding of interdependent global systems, and develop practical skills in communication, intercultural sensitivity, and sustainability advocacy. The course combines self-paced learning (readings, videos, quizzes) with interactive forums and optional group coaching sessions to foster community and co-creation. A final project challenges students to design a peace- or climate-focused intervention in their local or academic environment.

Learning objectives:

Students are able to:

*be a leader

*listen actively

*tell their story authentically with impact
