Course Information

Intended learning outcomes

It is possible to attend the course in English or/and German depending on the students/ group. Der Kurs kann in Englisch oder/und Deutsch abgehalten werden. Dies wird zu Beginn gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmenden festgelegt. 

The course aims to provide insights in affective and body-oriented approaches to peace education, peace and conflicts. Students gain an understanding of the affective and bodily dimensions in education and learning and more specifically in relation to peace and conflict. They practice combining key concepts and theories of peace and embodiment with their experiences in class through reflection papers. Students are able to connect embodied and affective learning  with peace and conflict.  

Teaching methodology including the use of eLearning tools

Theoretical Input, Literature, Experiential Learning through artistic methods, Discussions, Group work and Reflection papers. The attendance of the class is mandatory due to its self-experiential character. It is only possible to miss one class (4hours). 


Course content

Inspired by the Research Group on Body Oriented Approaches and Arts in Peace and Conflict Transformation in Innsbruck the course seeks to combine artistic and body-oriented approaches to peace and conflict.The students experientially and theoretically explore affective and body-oriented approaches as methodological learning tools, as self-experience and  theoretical background anchored in phenomenology, humanistic psychology and generally theories about affect, embodiment and learning using theories from transformative learning and a phenomenological understanding of learning as experience. The course aims to connect personal experience with theory and therefore uses experiential learning methods such as Open Floor, Hanne Tjersland, https://peaceinmovement.com/, (date: 26. 11. 19) Theatre of the Oppressed - Sophie Baumgartner http://tdu-wien.at/ (date: 3.12.2019) and during the Semester parts of the Heroine/Hero's journey connected with biographical work.
