RCPI takes an innovative approach to educating emerging leaders to help them craft contextualized approaches to understanding and resolving conflict. A full year course sequence combines classroom and experiential education with an opportunity to develop and implement projects in the contexts where RCPI works. RCPI also offers students the chance to engage with its programming and research in Cambridge throughout the year. The foundation of these opportunities is a dynamic community of faculty, practitioner fellows, and students from across Harvard University, as well as participation from the public and local communities in conflict contexts.

Experiential Education
RCPI immerses students in a conflict situation to learn about the context and the broader theory and practice of just peacebuilding.
