This training is ideal if you want to learn the basics of conflict transformation and DEI while connecting with admin staff in other universities. You will receive a digital badge or a digital certificate from one of our universities for successful completion.

ROCKET is an innovative project co-funded by the Erasmus+ Cooperation Partnerships program with partners from Göttingen, Uppsala, and Groningen universities. The project develops a working concept for Critical Virtual Exchange which implements role-playing games for conflict transformation. These novel modes of online interaction can aid participants to take on new perspectives and gain a deeper understanding of issues relating to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
