• NEW COURSE: Diplomacy at Work: A Hands-On Approach to International Relations
  (Global Studies 160-2)
  Summer Session A

  Are you thinking about a career in the foreign service? Have you ever wondered what it is like to work for an NGO or the branch of a US-company in a foreign country in crisis?
  
  The Burkle Center would like to announce an exciting opportunity for this year's Summer Session A (Jun 25 - Aug 3, 2018). Alexandra Lieben, Deputy Director of the Burkle Center for International Relations, will teach a course titled Diplomacy at Work: A Hands-On Approach to International Relations that will meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 10:45 am - 12:50 pm.

  This highly interactive case study-based course introduces students to the complex reality of international relations. Students will acquire the theoretical frameworks for assessing political risk, managing conflict, and building peace. By role-playing as diplomats, NGO staffers, and business leaders, students will delve into case studies of countries in crisis. They will explore and debate approaches to ongoing and emerging conflicts and devise appropriate ways to serve the mission of their organization. As a conflict-resolution and international development specialist, Professor Lieben will guide students to solutions that further their respective organizations and promote peace, sustainable economies, and community development.

• Project Harmony relies on the participation of English-speaking volunteer interns from all over the world to staff our summer programs. We are in search of talented and creative college students, rising high school seniors, graduate students, and young professionals who are motivated to spend 5 to 6 weeks in Israel this summer facilitating exciting programming for our campers! Project Harmony is an amazing opportunity for young people interested in gaining real-world experience in the fields of:
  education (particularly EFL, cross-cultural or bilingual education);
  Middle Eastern languages and cultures;
  conflict and peacemaking studies;
  grassroots community organizing and leadership;
  social justice; and/or
  international affairs.
  We provide a week-long staff training program in Jerusalem for all staff, which willl begin on Sunday, June 24th, 2018. Camp begins in Jerusalem on July 1st and runs until July 26th. Camp in Wadi Ara begins on July 10th and ends on July 31st. Because the camp is a day camp and not overnight, Fridays and Saturdays are free for staff to spend as they wish. Volunteers do not pay anything to Project Harmony to participate in the program. At this point, we are not able to pay our volunteers but we do provide breakfast, lunch, and healthy snacks during camp's hours of operation. All expenses including flights, room, and board, are the responsibility of the volunteers. Volunteers who prefer not to arrange their own housing can take advantage of a shared housing option that we arrange for an all-inclusive price.

  Project Harmony could not operate without the efforts of our volunteer staff, who find it an immeasurably rewarding and career-shaping experience. In addition to developing professional skills and making connections with campers and local communities, our volunteers are part of a network of international professionals who can be resources for each other throughout their careers.
