New Interviews Filmed!
Interviews have been conducted today with the Academic Director of EPU Dietrich Fischer, as well as Week 12 Lecturers Stella Sabiiti and Andrew Strauss! Keep an eye out for those in the coming weeks along with all the other exciting Fall 2008 footage!
EPU Fall 2008 Graduation Ceremony
Today was the final day of Fall Term 2008 at the European Peace University. It was decided not to film at the closing ceremony, however graduating student Christoph Ziegler has kindly provided his speech presented during the ceremony for our Blog viewers titled "What is EPU?" Thank you for sharing Christoph!
What is EPU
It was my last term and I want to share with you some of my thoughts and experiences, which are also yours.
What is Epu? What does it mean?
EPU is the spirit of hope for a better world
EPU is a protected environment to show and to deal with our weaknesses
EPU, especially House International is the most famous center in whole Burgenland for rumors and gossiping
EPU is a balancing act between sharing with the community and withdrawing to centre yourself
EPU is the challenge to deal with the temptations between men and women in House International and to handle different cultures and mentalities.
EPU is the tension and synthesis between high motivation and also frustration
EPU is a illusory family but also reality
EPU for a student is the feeling of having time for everything and on the other side the feeling of having no time for anything.
EPU is world politics in a ghost town.
EPU is the happy experience to find friends and the sad experience to say good bye to them.
EPU is located at the end of the world but after the study you are connected to the whole world
EPU creates in all of us a common vision: that´s a peaceful world and also a bigger kitchen in House International
EPU stands for wonderful people, who want to work for a peaceful world.
And concerning the future of EPU, whatever happens, the spirit of EPU will never die.

What is Conflict video uploaded!
A new video titled: 'What is Conflict?' has successfully been uploaded to EPU Tube!
This is an experimental peace education video created by EPU Students of Fall Term 2008. Based on the World Cafè methodology introduced to us by Fred Dubee in Summer 2008 term, this video brainstorm session starts from the question: 'What is conflict?' and expands from there!
This video is intended to give an introductory insight into the complexities of peace and conflict studies and the further questions that are raised, as a mind mapping tool for those wondering what Peace and Conflict Studies is about!
Enjoy, and tune in for more!
