Last week I asked my students to conduct written group discussions on definitions of peace. I provided them with texts covering definitions of peace from antiqutiy to the 20th century. Each group member had to summarise one text. Thereafter they should compare these different definitions. One student concluded that peace developed from being a breathing space between fights to a complete gym programme. I like this picture very much.

As this course is taught online only, I have scheduled a voluntary meeting with my students once a week. No pre-registration needed. They may come with their ideas, thoughts and questions or just for listening to the others.
These meetings are very spontaneous in character as I do not know in advance whom I meet or what we are going to discuss. But I like this not plannable occassions very much.

To check that my students have read the course syllabus I hide a minor assignment in it: the students should start a thread in the course plattform and post a picture of an animal (chosen by me). Today the first peace dove has landed.
