Multiple inter-university online lesson programs in conflict areas-evaluation for improvement

Peacebuilding and conflict prevention studies play a crucial role in promoting peace on earth. Such studies must be evaluated in order to ensure they are as effective as possible. At the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (TUFS), Japan, Associate Professor Mitsuru Ikeda, Professor
 Toru Miyagi and Dr Aya Fukuda are part of a team that have developed an educational programme on peacebuilding and conflict prevention that connects several universities in Asia via an online conference system. The Global Campus Program (GCP) is novel for many reasons, particularly because
 of its psychological angle. Ikeda is a psychologist who is a proponent of the importance of the involvement of psychology in conflict prevention education. This is because armed conflicts are caused by the human mind and psychology is also closely linked to programme evaluation research. Through
 the GCP, Ikeda, Miyagi and Fukuda are performing a programme evaluation of peacebuilding and conflict prevention education. This involves inviting students from different parts of the world, including conflict-affected countries and enhancing students' learning through interaction and dialogue.
 The researchers use two major psychological theoretical models in their work: mere exposure effect and the idea that co-action based on common goals deepens mutual understanding.
