SJPS 3211G: The King's at Rondine Seminar

The King's at Rondine Seminar takes place each May at the Rondine Cittadella della Pace (Rondine City of Peace)—an international, Nobel Prize-nominated centre for Conflict Resolution and Peace Building. Rondine brings together youth from around the world, from regions dealing with ongoing conflict, to collaboratively design strategies to de-escalate conflict and build cross-cultural relationships.

King's students spend one month in residence at Rondine. While there they engage in a number of workshops, symposia, site visits and seminars focusing on issues of inter-ethnic conflict, climate, religion, border, migration and other fields of conflict and peace-building. This is an extraordinary opportunity for King's students to take the theories they have acquired in classrooms and engage with youth who are preparing to be global leaders on the frontlines of urgent social ssues.

While in Arezzo, students live in apartment settings organized for them by the Rondine staff. Seminars and workshops take place at Rondine, while site visits include trips to Rome, Bologna, Florence and other regional cities. When in Rome, students participate in a seminar with the Vatican Section for Migrants and Refugees.

Scholarship and bursary information: Generous financial aid is available to all King's students enrolled in the King's at Rondine Seminar. You can find more information on the King's Scholarships and Bursaries website
