Abstract

The theoretical framework for this research draws upon peace-building literature that emphasizes the role of educational institutions in transforming
post-conflict societies. Religious educational institutions occupy a distinctive position in this context, as they simultaneously preserve
theological traditions while potentially serving as bridges between communities.
The initiatives examined in this study represent what might be termed “educational diplomacy,” wherein academic exchange becomes
a vehicle for broader social reconciliation. Previous research has demonstrated that interventions targeting future religious leaders can have multiplier
effects throughout communities, yet few studies have longitudinally examined the implementation and sustainability of such programs
in the post-conflict countries.
