First-Ever Conflict Resolution Summer Program Online
Conflicts over collective Identity, including issues of religion, narratives, and culture, abound in our world today. Conflict involving deep identity clashes and disagreements regarding deep societal values are usually considered intractable and difficult to settle or mediate.
Bar-Ilan University’s internationally-recognized Identity-Based Conflict Resolution summer program addresses these conflicts and focuses on helping students to identity them in the Israeli society and in other countries worldwide. Taught by leading scholars and practitioners, this unique program examines interpersonal level, national and international conflicts from legal, psychological, religious, and cultural perspectives, with a focus on identity-based conflicts and a particular emphasis on conflicts found in Israel.
“But more importantly, we examine and explore innovative, advanced conflict resolution methods to constructively engage with such conflicts,” says Prof. Michal Alberstein, a Professor of Law in Bar-Ilan’s Faculty of Law, who is managing the program. “Our aim is not only to explore the many conflicts, but to give students practical and proven ways to manage and resolve them in case they find themselves in need of these skills one day.”
Launched in 2000, the Identity-Based Conflict Resolution Program was initially under the auspices of the Conflict Resolution, Management and Negotiation Graduate Program. It was later transferred to the Faculty of Law because of this department’s strong focus on identity-based conflicts. It is taught entirely in English and is managed by Bar-Ilan’s International School in conjunction with the Law Faculty.
Previous participants come from all over the world, including the US, Holland, Switzerland, India, China, and from all disciplines. They are either currently students, recent graduates, conflict resolution practitioners, or individuals from the general public.
The program was awarded a special scholarship from the Israeli National Council for Higher Education due to its subject matter, the excellence of the program, and the success it has achieved over the past 20 years.

Course Information
Until this year, the summer program was run on Bar-Ilan University’s beautiful campus in Ramat Gan, in the Tel Aviv Metropolitan Area. Due to the situation with COVID-19, the International School decided to host the program online for the first time, giving more people the opportunity to experience this widely-popular program.
This year’s lecturers include three lawyers (Prof. Alberstein is one of them), and two with Doctorates in the Social Sciences. The program’s four courses take place over four weeks in the following order. Each course will be given over four condensed days.
- Collective Memory, Culture, Trauma, and Identity-Based Conflict Resolution – Professor Michal Alberstein and Dr. Beatrice Coscas-Williams.
- Religion and Peacebuilding: Jewish and Islamic Models in Texts, Theory, and Practice – Daniel Roth.
- Social Psychological and Technological Approaches to Understanding and Resolving Intergroup Conflicts – Béatrice Hasler Lev-Tov.
- Mediating Conflicts Between Religion and State: Israeli Perspectives – Shai Stern.
ONLINE CLASSES WILL TAKE PLACE FROM JULY 13 TO AUGUST 6 (MONDAY TO THURSDAY: 09:00 TO 13:00 ISRAEL TIME).
Unfortunately, due to time-zone constraints, we are unable to offer the online program to those living in north, central, and south America at this time. We apologize for this inconvenience.

“There will be online and offline time throughout the program,” said Prof. Alberstein. “We will use simulations and small circles through Zoom, and we will use Bar-Ilan’s Moodle tools and short videos for off-line hours.
“Students will have to complete short assignments through Moodle, and there will be a final paper or assignment to submit, which will vary according to each courses’ nature. Once students have completed all four courses in the program, we will award them a certificate of participation from the Faculty of Law,” she said.
Students receive eight academic credits (or four ‘annual’ credits), two for each course. They can request an official university transcript of these graduate level courses and grades for transfer to other institutions.
Applicants (Israeli and non-Israeli citizens) should hold an undergraduate or graduate degree, or currently be enrolled in their final year of an undergraduate degree. Degrees and studies from all disciplines and fields in Social Sciences, Law, Liberal Arts, and the Humanities are recognized.
Tuition Fees
The first 25 people who register for the full four-course program will pay only $200. Thereafter, the fee will be $350. Note: There is a non-refundable application fee of US $100.
