Enrolments are now being taken for the University of Sydney’s Centre for Peace and Conflict Studies course, Peace Through Tourism (PACS6910). 

This postgraduate Winter School unit of study, which was offered for the first time last year, is the only course of its kind in Australia.

The course will be held from July 13 to July 19, 2006 and there are twenty places available.

IIPT Executive Committee members, Dr Lynda-ann Blanchard, lecturer in the Peace and Conflict Studies program at the University of Sydney and Ms Freya Higgins-Desbiolles, lecturer in Tourism Studies at the University of South Australia, are the course coordinators.

Tourism and travel professionals with industry experience are especially welcome to enroll as audit (non-degree) students at a reduced fee – a Certificate in Peace Tourism from the University of Sydney will be awarded to those who complete the course.
