Applied Conflict Transformation Studies (ACTS)

The CPCS offers the Applied Conflict Transformation Studies (Asia) course in partnership with Pannasastra University, Phnom Penh and Responding to Conflict (RTC) in the UK. The course focuses on conflict-transformation and aims to bridge the gap between academic research and the wealth of experience that exists on the ground. The course is a two year accredited Masters program, offering residential seminars every three months along with action research assignments focused on the practitioners' regular work. The course is based in Cambodia. ACTS is rooted in the work and experiences of its participants, developing participants' practical skills and creating new theory from their own experience.
