About the Conferences

In a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners, and educators, the conferences produce and exchange knowledge on conflict, conviviality, and creativity. They draw on the other activities to reflect on the topic of the project as well as to devise strategies conducive to best practices.

The conferences bring together experts in different fields and thus encourage exchange of experiences, career, and professional skills, and research results on all aspects of the potential of culture and creativity understood as resources in conflict and post-conflict situations.

Through this platform, researchers, practitioners, and educators will present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, concerns, and practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Culture and Arts.
