This paper profiles the creation of the Nyerere Centre for Peace Research in Arusha, Tanzania and the evolution of a unique approach to applied peace and conflict resolution in Arcadia University’s Master’s degree program in International Peace and Conflict Resolution (IPCR). The focus is on a curriculum that bridges theory and practice in the conflict resolution field through the implementation of project-based learning initiatives, an approach particularly well-suited to the subject matter because it joins students, faculty and stakeholders together to solve problems and impact positive social change.
