Join in to learn more about building Peace and Justice Resilience in Europe

The EC2U Conference “Building Peace and Justice Resilience in Europe: interdisciplinary approaches supporting Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions” will take place on October, 27 as a hybrid event, hosted by the University of Jena and accessible online.

This conference is envisioned to develop theories, interdisciplinary methods, and governance practices relevant to the in-development EC2U Joint Master’s Programme (JMP) : Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. The JMP refers directly to the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) no. 16: promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.

Given the current EU policies that emphasise sustainability at the political level and promote international cooperation, the conference aims to raise awareness of related issues and provide a space for constructive exchange for discussing the meaning of peaceful, effectively governed and inclusive societies.

Programme

The conference will consist of 3 parts:

  • Morning session: a series of presentations exploring how SDG 16 and European solidarity are interrelated, and how real peace and justice resilience can be facilitated and preserved.
  • Afternoon workshops: opportunities for participants to engage in interactive discussions examining solidarity from various professional perspectives.
  • Final session: a panel discussion featuring members of the WP-7 project working group, concluding the day’s reflections.

Who can attend?

The event is open to the public and explicitly designed to foster dialogue between speakers and participants, building a bridge between EC2U and society. It aims to contribute to a deeper understanding the complex issues surrounding solidarity and its constitutive role in promoting peace, justice and strong institutions.
