25 years of know-how combined with 21st century learning technology
We strive to offer a blended approach whose aim is to create a truly engaging and collaborative learning experience that supports our course participants in the long term and helps them to achieve professional excellence. The past 25 years have been marked by significant geopolitical shifts, technological developments and security dilemmas. These elements have significantly contributed to the changing nature of today’s global landscape. Understanding these changes and being capable of planning what comes next has become paramount for individuals and organisations wishing to develop a competitive edge. The combination of the GCSP’s expert knowledge, course design and pedagogical approach plays a central role in this process. Our courses combine both theory and practice, and their content is constantly adjusted to include the latest developments, new trends and best practices. The GCSP endeavours to respond to the needs of all peace and security professionals by offering high-quality, innovative courses. With this in mind, our courses offer: • A unique opportunity to put knowledge into action, master new tools, hone key skills, and explore unconventional ideas and solutions • Flexible learning formats that allow you to choose when, where and how you learn • Constructive conversations with world-class experts on the most important issues affecting peace and security • A holistic approach to learning, enhanced through a blended use of technologies, and including content from a multitude of sources • Continuous opportunities to practise and apply what you learn The GCSP offers courses in a variety of learning formats. Our development of virtual courses has allowed us to accelerate our aim of helping to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 – “Quality Education for All”. And as a by-product of this process that is becoming increasingly relevant, the switch to virtual course presentation has also helped us to reduce our environmental footprint.
