Qualifikationsziele

You will acquire foundational knowledge about:

  • Typology of problems,
  • Non-essentialist perspectives on problems as social constructions;
  • Different strategies for finding solutions to complex problems (e.g. in the context of governance and human rights).

You will try out and develop practical skills helpful to:

  • Identify and analyse human rights and governance problems;
  • Set up a research design to approach complex problems;
  • Find creative, collaborative and efficient strategies in dealing with and solving complex problems.

This course is based on a three level concept of competency:

  • You will develop the Knowing component of your communication and negotiation competency: you hear and read about concepts and discuss them.
  • You develop the Doing component of your communication and negotiation competency: you apply your knowledge in games and other exercises.
  • You start developing the Being component of your newly acquired knowledge and practical skills: Academic learning is most effective when it is sustainably transferred into the real life situations.
The objective of this course hence is to enable you to develop effective negotiation mindsets.
