Talking to a Peace Expert
Here’s an exciting way to better understand crises and conflicts: Invite a civilian expert to talk about his or her experience in the field. One of our experts will come to visit and tell you all about working in international peace operations.

Would you like to find out more about the topic of ‘peace operations’ and have the opportunity to ask your questions in a direct dialogue? ZIF has developed the ‘Talking to a peace expert' concept for this purpose.
Peace operations make an indispensable contribution to promoting stability, peace and security. With our ‘Peace experts in dialogue’, we want to explain the topic of peace operations and at the same time make it better known to the interested public. Not only will you learn a lot of new things, but you will also be able to better understand the context of international politics and international crisis management.
On request, our civilian experts will come to you to present their work. Whether it's an association, university, constituency or project day - we look forward to receiving your enquiry and will be happy to check the availability of experienced experts.
Topics of Discussion
Our civilian experts can share their knowledge about a range of topics relating to civilian crisis management, peace operations and working in a crisis area. Their personal experience, unusual insights and impressions from the field will make international crisis management and foreign policy more comprehensible and accessible to you and your audience.
We have developed a concept that allows civilian experts to address different target groups when talking about their work in peace operations. The concept is based on different building blocks that fit together in a modular way. This enables us to tailor our contents and create the appropriate presentation and format for your specific target group.
Our experts also bring along an array of presentation materials. These include:
- Photo packages for visualisation purposes
- Profiles and film portraits of civilian experts from different peace operations
- Interactive elements on the topic, such as a quiz or a survey
- Information on the equipment civilian experts use in peace operations
