“Conflict Resolution Day is an annual international celebration held every third Thursday in October. It promotes awareness of peaceful means of resolving disagreements and encourages the use of conflict resolution in schools, families, businesses, communities, government, and the legal system,” says Julie. During this talk we will conduct a ‘Live Action Mediation’ to demonstrate how mediators empower people to find their own best solutions.

“You can transform anger from blaming others to connecting with what is important to you,” says Mala’e.  “Although it can be one of the most painful emotions, anger serves an important purpose, and we can use it to serve life.”  In this interactive workshop, we will explore steps to understand and express anger using compassionate communication techniques.  Transform yourself to transform your community.

The evening begins with an introduction by Steve Yoshida and Lee Dombroski on “Heiwa: Rotary Hiroshima Survivor Trees,” spreading the message of peace, hope, and survivability.  This event is the second in the “Kakou: Let’s Work It Out!” workshop series, co-hosted by the County of Hawai’i Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, Ku’ikahi Mediation Center, several Rotary Clubs, and UH-Hilo.
