The Curriculum Fostering Social Harmony among University Students in Sri Lanka provides a comprehensive course incorporating theoretical and practical lessons on interpersonal and intergroup interaction. Working with Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Higher Education, the curriculum was prepared as a one-day workshop for all incoming college students throughout the country. The curriculum was also prepared as a semester-long course for the University of Jaffna, where 1,460 students are expected take the course.

The Program works on Kurdish issues in Turkey and Iraq. Phillips authored a report by the Atlantic Council – Confidence-Building Measures between Turks and Iraqi Kurds. The report proposed normalizing relations, easing border crossings, and facilitating the transit of goods from Turkey to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Soon after the report’s publication, Ankara implemented many of the report’s recommendations as part of its commercial diplomacy with the authorities in Iraqi Kurdistan.
