Our story:
In early 2014 several peace workers with connections to the peace master programs at Universitat Jaume I, Spain, The University of Innsbruck, Austria, and the Centre for Dialogue, La Trobe University, Australia, began a collaboration that has now expanded to include peace workers from all parts of the world. The DEEP Network staff, Advisory Board, and partners are from every continent and, as a result, projects reflect intercultural and interdisciplinary perspectives and a rich diversity of expertise. The DEEP Network brings together scholars and practitioners, both experienced and early career. It includes mentoring and inter-generational exchange that strengthen the capacity of the early career participants and develop fresh and creative approaches. Organizational Structure
The DEEP Network currently has nodes in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), Barcelona (Spain), Melbourne (Australia), Mexico City (Mexico), Multan (Pakistan), Nairobi (Kenya), San Francisco (USA), Seoul (South Korea), Tangier (Morocco), Yogyakarta (Indonesia), and Zurich (Switzerland).
