With what do we replace the war system (aka the
military-industrial-corporate-governmental complex)? What truly makes us
secure? What are the moral, social, political, philosophical and
pragmatic foundations of an alternative global security system – a
system in which peace is pursued by peaceful means? What actions and
strategies might we pursue in building this system? War Abolition 201
explores these questions and more with the goal of engaging students in
learning that leads to action.
War Abolition 201 is a six week-online course
providing participants an opportunity to learn from, dialogue with, and
strategize for change with World BEYOND War experts, peer activists, and
changemakers from around the world.
Each week of the online course will feature a guest facilitator from
World BEYOND War or our partners. These facilitators will help you to
explore weekly topics supported by an online chat room where you are
encouraged to dialogue with peers and facilitators. The interactions are
not live or scheduled. You take part whenever works for you.
Weekly
content
includes a mix of text, images, video, and audio. Instructors and
students utilize online discussion forums to go over each week's
content, as well as to provide feedback on optional assignment
submissions.
The course also
includes three 1-hour optional zoom calls which are designed to
facilitate a more interactive and real-time learning experience. But for the bulk of the course, again:

What alumni are saying:
"I was really impressed with the material provided. The content was well researched and referenced. But, what I liked the most about both courses was the collaborative learning. There were not only online assignments which everyone shared, and was able to comment on. Each week there was also a discussion thread, in which many students as well as course facilitators participated. I think those of us who participated in the discussions learned a lot beyond the content of the course. There were participants from all over the world with a wide variety of knowledge and experience, and the interaction between students and the feedback from the very knowledgeable course facilitators combined provided much additional learning. At the beginning of the course I felt ill prepared to articulate my objection to wars, and war preparation. But, now I feel confident that I can provide critics with well researched answers." —Marilyn Konstapel
"Knowledge is power. To change the minds of a doubting public about peace requires more than passion. The courses offered by World BEYOND War enabled me with the knowledge and tools to dialogue on a convincing level with doubters. The knowledge to change culture, to show the essentials of security, and to demonstrate conflict management in our society gave me the confidence to speak out publicly on the many issues of ending war and more - to create peace." —DG Jim Halderman
