Peace is not merely the absence of conflict: it is a skill that is learned, practised and passed on.
What the workshop covered
- Recognising escalation mechanisms within a group
- Telling disagreement apart from hostility
- Building an agreement that holds beyond the meeting
A simple method
Participants worked on real cases they brought themselves rather than theoretical scenarios. Each group had to produce a proposal that could be applied in their neighbourhood, campus or organisation.
