PROGRAM

OBJECTIVES

The main goal of the field school is to give students the opportunity

to apply the theory they have learned in academic environments in

the field, through visits to conflict sites and direct contact with those

involved in the struggle for justice, memory and human rights.

Students will work with EPAF during three weeks exploring a range otopics related to the internal armed conflict that occurred in Peru

between 1980 and 2000. Participants will travel through the Ayacuch

region in the Peruvian Andes most affected by the conflict. They will

interact with EPAF staff and meet victims of the conflict, relatives of

the victims, representatives from local organizations, and public

officials.

At the conclusion of the school, participants will be familiar with the

historical and political context of the period of violence in Peru and

the subsequent process of transitional justice. They will be able to do

analyses of memory and conflict narratives; recognize the effects of

conflict; know basic guidelines for the care and support of families of

disappeared persons; and they will have a foundation of forensic

science applications in the investigation of human rights violations.

SAFETY

AND HEALTH

Although the area of Ayacucho

suffered intense violence during the

armed conflict, the Pampas-Qaracha

basin has remained in peace for years

Still, the safety of all participants is

our main concern and will be giventhe highest priority in the planning and

execution of the program. EPAF will

try to provide for every contingency,

but students must strictly comply with

the rules set by EPAF staff and follow

the facilitators’ instructions to ensure

their safety while in the country.

While EPAF takes all possible

measures to guarantee basic services

for the students, facilities vary from

community to community and the

quality of the facilities corresponds to

rural conditions.

Participation in the field school require

students to be in good health, since it

involves some physical activity at high

altitudes. In order to guarantee safety

and proper intervention in case of

medical emergencies, we require

students to disclose medical condition

that may affect their activity in the fiel

Due to limitations in the availability of

food and other resources in rural

communities, at this time we cannot

accommodate special dietary needs.
