As the IKM Team, we would like to invite you to join us during two of Viadrina University’s Welcome Days.

It’s your and our chance to get to know each other, meet future colleagues, and provide an initial overview of relevant content and what to expect during the study program.

Graduates of the Viadrina Applied Conflict Studies (ViAPACS) Certificate programme and colleagues at the IKM will be sharing their practical experiences in the Foreign Service. There will be a particular focus on the types of conflicts they encountered whilst working abroad and what they learnt about dealing with these conflicts. Students and those interested in the MA CoDe programme can find out more and discuss international career prospects and internship opportunities in the context of diplomacy in a small-group setting.

On 7 August, we are holding an open online consultation session on the MA in Conflict and Democracy!

The multi-award-winning author Anne Rabe is visiting the Viadrina. Together with legal historian Prof. Dr Benjamin Lahusen, Anne Rabe will discuss political experiences, democratic culture and social change in East Germany in a talk entitled ‘Democracy is being saved in the East’.

Venue: LH, Logensaal

This workshop, bringing together media professionals, researchers and prospective students, focuses on the media dialogue about and with authoritarian attitudes: What dilemmas do local journalism and social media face when reporting on authoritarian and far-right attitudes? Particularly when they are addressing both people who share these attitudes and those who do not? How do they manage to overcome these dilemmas, and what strategies can be derived from this and potentially developed further in a targeted manner? For which other stakeholders might these strategies also be valuable?

Registration required! If you are interested, please register at master-code@europa-uni.de!

Dr Anne Holper’s workshop focused on the question of how Germany can and should use the current developments in the Russia-Ukraine war to campaign for an end to the conflict. The aim was to initiate an open-ended, collective discussion on this issue and to gather participants’ views and suggestions on how Germany could help bring Russia’s war against Ukraine to an end. Following a brief introduction to the current situation, the participants discussed various approaches and ideas, weighed up obstacles and risks, and considered how these might be overcome in practical terms.
