The Centre offers a variety of field courses, workshops and seminars to foster professional development in the areas of leadership, education and social enterprise.

Most seminars are held on the beautiful campus of the University for Peace, situated on 300 hectares of protected land surrounded by nature, though our customized workshops can also be presented at your institutional headquarters or at any other predetermined site. Select workshops are hosted by top notch facilitators and are available in Spanish as well as English.

We also have a wide variety of workshop offerings that can be organized on demand. They can be presented at your home institution, or if you can provide six participants or more, we’ll gladly organize a special workshop at the University for Peace campus on dates that are convenient for you and your team.

We’re serious about your health! UPEACE adheres to all suggestions and guidelines put forth by the Costa Rican Ministry of Health to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, including social distancing on campus, the use of masks and partitions in classrooms, daily temperature checks, the provision of anti-bacterial gel in the hallways and more.
