Peacebuilding & conflict transformation: Methods & games to facilitate training sessions

These books address peace issues and conflict transformation at the individ- ual, group and community levels. Many of us work in situations of violent or latent conflict that throw whole regions or countries into war or warlike situations. The lines between the two levels of conflict are often blurred, for instance, as far as ques- tions of identity, loyalty and trust are concerned. We believe that these books can help young people and their trainers better understand their own situation and learn to tolerate differences in approach, people, ethnic loyalties, religion and even values, as long as there is dialogue and interaction towards common goals. Analysing the context you live in, the conflicts in and around you, the interests and power plays helps you to become a stakeholder and not a victim in your own life.
