These websites were created by the graduate students from the UN mandated University for Peace who took the innovative class “New Media Tools for Change” , this past January 2014 in Costa Rica. The course was developed by Tatiana Philiptchenko and Ingmar Zahorsky from the Peace Media Co-Op. The aim of the course was to engage students to use social media in a practical context while simultaneously applying the theory of change. Students were encouraged to explore the fields of conflict resolution, peace journalism and empowerment through their newly acquired skills. In a short period, the final results were powerful multimedia websites featuring the local communities where most of the university body resides. We believe that their great work created lasting ties with the people of Ciudad Colon.
