School trip to Alexandria |
Saturday, 09 June 2007 |
The AGSIRD students pursuing the dual Master's program with the University of Paris 11 went to Alexandria in Egypt for a week-long visit in June 2007. The focal point of the trip was two days of negotiations involving students from universities in Egypt, Lebanon and Morocco as well as a one-day conference with international peace studies specialists. Both the negotiation simulation and the conference focused on "Cultural Interactions and Conflict Resolution". |

Ryan MillsUnited States From current issues in the Middle East taught together by an Iranian historian and an Israelli journalist, to NGO management taught by the director of Human Rights Watch in France, every class was fascinating and taught by some of the most impressive people I could ever have imagined. I immediately felt at home in this small but active AGS community because, although students and professors are all from different parts of the world, everyone takes the time to understand each other's perspective. Overall, I would recommend AGS to anyone with a thirst for intellectual stimulation and a drive to not only understand the world of international relations, but engage in it.. |
