The Amsterdam Centre for Religion and Peace & Justice Studies is an academic centre to exchange ideas on peace and justice at the intersection of religion. The centre seeks to “create space for peace and justice” through the mutual exchange of ideas from insider and outsider perspectives. It also seeks to share these insights through education, various publications, and public lectures.
Peace, Justice, and Reconciliation cannot just talked about in classrooms. It is important to hear narratives and stories from different people, to witness places that are torn by conflict, while also being inspired by people working to transform their society. For this reason, PTR, makes an excursion someplace around the globe to meet and learn from people working for justice and peace.
A yearly study trip is part of the educational programme in the Master’s specialisation Peace, Trauma and Religion, Participation is not obligated.
