Ideas for study abroad programme..

We've got students coming here for a month (24th May -19th June), and i'm putting ideas together for potential projects and side-sessions from the main teaching. Three themes so far:

1) case studeis - ireland, rwanda (15 years ago this month), the 'boy's club' problem of refugees (potential huge numbers anda future where nation states matter less), problems beyond socialism & ideological conflicts

2) Short taster sessions - group mediation, types of power, behavioural change, Ubuntu, NVC, cohesion linked to identity and culture.

3) Counter arguments - get them to argue the opposite point of view (could relate to case studies above), attitudinal changes in the 20C of war, media and complicity in recent unpopular wars (related to 'who are the stakeholds & who gains'), do 21C societies need enemies, world values survey and how soldiers and civilians can have the same values.

I'd like to get beyond the usual 'war is bad' hippy bit (in fact it can be a very effective long-term conflict resolution tool), and that NGOs are good and governments are corrupt. Ideas welcomed..
