Masterclass 2017

La Masterclass « Global Actors for Peace » 2017, a été pensé comme la première étape d’une Chaire itinérante sur la paix née d’un partenariat entre la Fédération Internationale des Universités Catholiques (FIUC) et le Rotary Club. Comme les éditions suivantes, le programme de cette première édition a associé pédagogie et recherche en réalisant un focus sur le rôle global des acteurs non étatiques dans la construction d’une paix durable.
