About the Diploma
The Joint Postgraduate Diploma on Coexistence has been designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in contexts related to peace and conflict studies that are entangled with aspects of Coexistence. Acknowledging the critical role that multilateralism play in being a motivation for or a factor in the resolution of conflicts, this program takes an interdisciplinary and dynamic approach to dealing with a range of issues including the theoretical and practical aspects crucial to engage with the study of different theories, and cultivating nuanced insights in the ways in which the ideal of Coexistence can be furthered through relevant resources belonging to the domains of religion and culture.
