Dorothée Goetze<p>I have read my students' portfolios, a broad variety of assignments. However, some notions are shared by most students:<br>- They realised how complicated and complex peace is as a concept. Much more complicated than they thought. <br>- They realised that the meaning and means of peace depend on its specific context. <br>- They conclude that peace has to be created and worked for, not only once but continuously.
