Camp Overview

As part of the Global Leadership Youth Program, a collaboration between LJCDS and the San Diego Diplomacy Council, students are introduced to the world of international affairs by examining trends in international relations, gaining an understanding of global interactions between actors with different interests and ideas, and exploring global strategies and efforts in peacebuilding.

Since the devastating World Wars of the 20th century, the world has witnessed a decline in interstate conflict or war between countries. However, this “Long Peace” did not mean the world was spared the horrors of violent conflict and upheaval. Many of the deadliest conflicts of the 21st century have occurred within the borders of individual countries in the form of civil wars, ethnic conflict and even genocide, resulting in substantial death, displacement, instability and in some cases a “failed state.” This module will examine trends in international relations, providing students with an understanding of global interactions between actors with different interests and ideas, and will explore global strategies and efforts in peacebuilding.

Participation in all three high school-level sessions will entitle students to Continuing Education Credit through UCSD Extension.

This course is not at LJCDS, and transportation is not provided. Students need to travel to UC San Diego Park and Market, 1100 Market St, San Diego, CA 92101.
