A few opening seminar sessions in which the students and instructor(s) get acquainted with each other and the intended aspects of the course of study. 2. The formation by the students of work-groups of two or three students to focus upon study/research projects mutually agreed upon and articulated. In these early sessions students would interview each other to learn how to write descriptions each other's strengths, weaknesses and challenges which may bear upon their abilities to cooperate in fulfilling their mutually agreed upon study/research projects; including cultural, religious and family encounters with conflicts, violence, violence, etc. These efforts would entail mutual agreements to the adequacy of the final descriptions of each other and of two or three projects they agree to work on in collaborative ways. The groups' projects may focus on retrospective analyses of why efforts at Conflict- MITIGATION have not born sweet fruit in the past and/or suggestions about how to approach Conflict-MITIGATION in particular evolving situations within the coming months and years. History books and the current news media offer partial and often confusing descriptions of many possible foci. 3. During the middle time period of the course the students would work primarily "on-line" with each other and the instructor(s); but might also arrange for in- person work sessions as might be helpful. A schedule of interactions would be agreed upon by those who are to be involved in such sessions. 4. Near the end of the course there would be a few in person seminar sessions for the students in the course to share concluding reports, interactions and mutual evaluations of their work, findings and recommendations.
