This micro-course identifies the importance of media and arts for peace, the critical role of creativity and storytelling, and how media and arts are utilized in post-conflict environments.
Course Overview & Key Objectives
Media and the Arts for Peace is an online, self-paced course that explores the impact of mainstream media, digital/social media, and the arts – live art, street art, music, dance, film, theater, etc. – on peace. Participants learn how these various media have been engaged to enrich public discourse, highlight civic responsibility and social justice, and tell the stories behind every conflict – stories that can be used to either dehumanize or humanize a conflict and the people behind it.
By the end of this micro-course, participants will be able to achieve the following objectives:
Describe how media and the arts contribute to peacebuilding;
Consider the impact media and the arts have on the individual and how that may influence peacebuilding;
Identify the role media and the arts have in fostering a culture of peace; and
Describe the role of media and the arts have in post-conflict societies.
