The Sharing Knowledge for Peace Programme aims to provide global access to instructors, students, and learners in universities and organizations; mid-career professionals participating in an online MA programme in Peace and Conflict Studies; readers and students around the world interested in up-to-date issues related to peace; and outstanding contributors to peace and conflict studies in major regions of the world. Building on and complementing curricula used in courses taught face-to-face on the UPEACE campus, Sharing Knowledge for Peace comprises the following three components:

• Toolkits for Teaching: Sets of curricular materials that focus on peace and conflict studies designed to increase the teaching competence of professors and instructors in empowering their students and learners in promoting peace and resolving conflicts in their respective regions.

• Distance e-Learning: A distanced learning online MA in Peace and Conflict Studies designed to upgrade the competence and qualifications of mid-career professionals as well as their organizations and agencies in dealing with peace and conflict. This component is in the process of academic development and will be widely announced before it is launched.

• Book Series: UPEACE faculty and Senior Fellows have been engaged in writing several books related to their areas of expertise in the field of Peace and Conflict. In order to give more visibility to such activities, UPEACE is launching its Book Series this year to reflect, and contribute to, the multi- and inter-disciplinary aspects of the field. The series will make significant contributions to the knowledge of the field, and will be published and distributed for a wider audience (professionals, students and the general public) by an international publisher.
