Thailand Peace Studies Program becomes permanent
By Diana Schoberg
Call it a step toward a lasting peace -- or a lasting peace program
at least.
The Rotary Foundation has announced that the peace and conflict
studies program at Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, Thailand, will
become a permanent peace education initiative.
The three-month professional development certificate program began in
2006 as a three-year pilot aimed at mid- to upper-level professionals
working for government and nongovernmental organizations in need of a
shorter program than the two-year peace studies master's degrees
offered at the other six Rotary Centers for International Studies .
The certificate and master's degree options will now be integrated
into one program. Applicants will be able to use the same application
to apply for all seven of the peace studies centers, and
administration of the master's and certificate programs will be
streamlined.
While the Rotary Center at Chulalongkorn University will continue to
offer two sessions -- January to April and June to August --
applications for both sessions will now be due on 1 July, at the same
time as the master's degree option.
