By Diana Schoberg <br>
<br>
Call it a step toward a lasting peace -- or a lasting peace program <br>
at least. <br>
<br>
The Rotary Foundation has announced that the peace and conflict <br>
studies program at <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Chulalongkorn</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType>, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Bangkok</st1:City>,
<st1:country-region w:st="on">Thailand</st1:country-region></st1:place>, will <br>
become a permanent peace education initiative. <br>
<br>
The three-month professional development certificate program began in <br>
2006 as a three-year pilot aimed at mid- to upper-level professionals <br>
working for government and nongovernmental organizations in need of a <br>
shorter program than the two-year peace studies master's degrees <br>
offered at the other six Rotary Centers for International Studies . <br>
<br>
The certificate and master's degree options will now be integrated <br>
into one program. Applicants will be able to use the same application <br>
to apply for all seven of the peace studies centers, and <br>
administration of the master's and certificate programs will be <br>
streamlined. <br>
<br>
While the <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Rotary</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Center</st1:PlaceType>
at <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Chulalongkorn</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">University</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> will continue to <br>
offer two sessions -- January to April and June to August -- <br>
applications for both sessions will now be due on 1 July, at the same <br>
time as the master's degree option. <br>
