In a world enmeshed in international and civil conflicts—where national, ethnic, racial, and religious tensions escalate into full-scale wars—thousands of lives are lost, homes and infrastructure are destroyed, and political stability is left in ruins. How can we move forward when the destruction stops? How do we approach after war recovery and post-conflict reconstruction?
The Global Futures Challenge is an intensive, face-to-face, 25-credit unit held over the mid-year break. Students from across faculties will engage with academics, industry leaders, and community partners to tackle these critical issues.
Participants will explore how communities can rebuild—both literally and figuratively—in the aftermath of war. This includes addressing post-conflict reconstruction: the physical, cultural, economic, and political recovery of societies emerging from war. It’s an opportunity to work collaboratively on projects that meet both immediate humanitarian needs and long-term strategies for rebuilding and reconciliation, while also exploring approaches to prevent conflict in the first place.
