Description

Are you ready to learn how to transform the conflict into an opportunity and generate social change? The World House program is the experience that you are looking for!

Rondine Cittadella della Pace is an organization committed to reducing armed conflicts around the world and spreading its own method for the creative transformation of conflicts in every context. Rondine is located in a Medieval Tuscan hamlet, a few kilometers away from Arezzo, Italy: here, the main Rondine projects for education and professional experience are developed.

Duration of program: 2 years (July 2021 – June 2023);

Location: Rondine, Arezzo, Italy;

The World House program is the heart of Rondine: since 1998, it has hosted young people who come from conflict or post-conflict areas. They accept to live with their own “enemy”, in order to learn how to face their conflict and turn it into an opportunity for change. They share their daily life, experiencing a challenging international, intercultural environment.

The World House program lasts two years and includes:

A Master’s in universities in Central Italy (Tuscany, Umbria)
A high-level training on conflict resolution, leadership, peacebuilding
Civic and community engagement activities, in Italy and abroad

Currently, the World House hosts thirty students from twenty-five different countries in Europe, Africa, America, the Middle East and Caucasus.
