Would you like to find out more about peace operations in an interactive exchange? Then ZIF’s “Talking to a Peace Expert” concept is just the thing for you.
Peace operations are an essential tool for promoting stability, peace and security around the world. With our “Talking to a Peace Expert” format, we would like to build awareness and boost the understanding of peace operations among interested members of the public.
Not only is there much to learn, you will also come away with a more thorough grasp of the interrelationships of international politics and international crisis management.
Upon request, one of our civilian experts will visit you and introduce their work in a peace operation. Regardless of whether you would like the expert to talk at a local club or association, a university or constituency, or during school project day, we look forward to your inquiry and will be happy to check the availability of our 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
