In a world with increasingly complex actors and relationship constellations, growing demands for civil conflict resolutionand crisis prevention can be observed. Social conflicts require accompanying strategies for conflict resolution.

The Peace Academy RLP works on inner-societal and cross-border conflicts, with special focus on the support and rebuilding of relations between conflict actors and their environment. Through interdisciplinary research, the Peace Academy strengthens and develops proven strategies for conflict resolution in a target-group-oriented manner and sets constructive impulses. Particular focus is laid on participatory cooperation and dialogue structures.

This research area includes current conflicts, for example in the context of flight and migration, as part of the Shared Society Project with Israeli and European partners and a series of workshops. On the other hand, the question of an adequate dealing of the past and a culture of remembrance in the Westwall project are part of the research area.
