This summer, Sciences Po Paris will host a fast-paced, hands-on Policy Lab exploring practical impacts of conflicts on civilians. Designed as a collaborative sprint, this immersive programme blends expert-led lectures, diplomatic simulations, creative workshops, and team-based challenges. 

Participants will dive deep into real-world dilemmas, prototype bold solutions, and sharpen the skills needed to navigate complexity with clarity, empathy, and impact. More than a course, it’s a space to think critically, act collectively, and reimagine the future of civilian protection.
