!!! Due to the current situation, the trip to Israel will not be part of the course. However, the Israeli students will visit, and a joint program will last one week!!!

This course represents a unique collaboration between the Faculty of Social Sciences at Charles University, Czech Republic, and the Politics & Communication Department at Jerusalem Multidisciplinary Collage, Israel, to promote the exchange of knowledge and ideas between the two countries. It centers on the political, cultural, and media aspects of Nation Branding and Post-War Reconstruction, focusing on learning from successful real-world examples.
The course explores potential approaches for nation branding and post-war reconstruction, such as in Israel and Ukraine. These envisioning strategies could support both countries in rebuilding and reshaping their global standing after resolving their respective conflicts. By examining these cases, students will learn how nations can recover from war and create new narratives that foster economic, political, and social development.
In addition to exploring theoretical frameworks, the course emphasizes skill development in several key areas: understanding global conflicts, analyzing international media and media strategies, critical thinking, social engagement, cross-cultural communication, and English language proficiency.
Students will work collaboratively in teams, engaging in peer learning and cross-cultural dialogue to deepen their understanding of the subject.
The course will be structured in three main phases. First, students will be introduced to the theoretical aspects of the two conflicts. In the second phase, they will work in small, mixed groups to analyze specific aspects of the disputes and compare different historical cases. Finally, the course will culminate in a joint project, where students will present their findings and proposals in a shared final presentation.
The language of instruction for the course is English.
