It has been a difficult year filled with conflicts. Excessively aggressive behaviors lacking concerns for others were observed at all levels of our society. The skills we offer as practitioners or advocates of dispute resolution and facilitation are desperately needed!
Let’s take a moment to focus on what each of us can do to positively contribute to the world on this Conflict Resolution Day, October 18, 2018.
We can:
- Start small by being kind to others (see 5:1 Kindness Challenge Pledge),
- Sharing with your friends and family in dispute that there are ways to peacefully resolve disagreements (see Options to Resolve Conflicts Peacefully), or
- Offer peacemaking skills to help your community solve challenging issues (see Calling All Peacemakers!), etc.
Let’s do it!
