CWWPP Internship/Academic Program in Post-Conflict Studies

The aim of the Summer Program of the CWWPP is to give the participant an impression of the reality of a post-conflict area and to assist in refining his/her academic skills.
Participation in one of the Summer Programs is not onlyan investment in knowledge; our program inspires you to adopt skills and values.

You may select from one of the programs below.

The 4-Week Program
The Intensive Summer Program/Internship comprises a series of seminars and forums given by local politicians, religious leaders, economists, physicians, workers in non-governmental organizations and workers in international organizations. These provide a platform for discussion of a wide range of subjects using the situation of Vukovar and surroundings as an illustration of post-conflict conditions in general.
The participant will be encouraged to think about these situations creatively and to form his/her own opinions about them.

The focus is on culture and identity and on conservation and interpretation of cultural heritage. The program, which is much less demanding than the 4-week intensive internship, offers the opportunity to study various aspects of culture and society through community activities. The approach is one of active engagement. It allows the student to interact with peers in host families.
