The panel explores ways of building a network of stakeholders that can create enthusiasm for new subject matter, lend authoritative support for it in the classroom and with other faculty, and progressively educate themselves and others in the subject matter. The goal is to prepare a community of educators
to find increasing relevance of the new idea to their workforce as it faces changes in policy and in the security environment. The Women Peace and Security Act of 2017 requires the Department of Defense to train personnel in conflict resolution, mitigation, and prevention and to promote the participation of women in peace and security. DoD chose to implement the Act through security cooperation. The Defense Security Cooperation University (DSCU) trains, educates, and certifies the 18,000-strong DOD security cooperation workforce which engages partner nation militaries throughout the world. In 2020, Dr. Yoshihara (American Council on Women Peace and Security) was
brought to DSCU to start the initial integration of the Act’s requirements into selected DSCU courses. Her team created online learning modules that allowed students to gain fundamental knowledge while the faculty was trained in the subject matter. In 2021, Dr. Hoffman (Country Intelligence Group) began integrating WPS into courses for military planners and international officers. This presented a new set of opportunities and challenges, because the WPS mandate is different for each nation. Neelima Grover (Q2 Impact) and her team created a game that allows educators to learn to apply WPS to specific security cooperation activities. The game helps create a community by engaging players at various levels, geographic locations, specialties, and can engage partner nation officers as well. The community can then learn together as they play successive games.
