Conflict Resolution

and Peacebuilding
GROUP 6
understand conflict
and its impact on
communities
What is Conflict?
Conflict arises from opposing interests, values, or actions
between individuals, groups, or entities. It encompasses
disagreement, tension, or discord that can escalate into
confrontation or desputes.
Conflict may stem from various sources, including
competition for resources, differences in beliefs or
misunderstandings. They can occur in personal relationships,
workplaces, communities, or on a larger societal scale.
Effective conflict resolution involves communication,
negotiation, and sometimes compromise to achieve mutually
acceptable outcomes and promote understanding and
cooperation among parties involved.
Examples of Conflict
1. Interpersonal Conflict - occurs between two or more
individuals who disagree on specific issues. It is prevalent in
everyday life.
2. Intrapersonal Conflict - in contrast to interpersonal conflict,
intrapersonal conflict occurs within an individual and often
involves internal thoughts, emotions, and principles.
3. Group Conflict - refers to disagreements among group
members between different groups.
4. Cultural and Social Conflict - arises from differences in cultural
values, norms, or traditions between individuals or groups.
5. Environmental Conflict - refers to disputes over using,
protecting, or degrading natural resources.

communities, and nations in different ways. Communities that

challenges which can have a long-lasting effects.

Peacebuilding
strategies in
educational settings
Peacebuilding strategies in formal
education settings such as school and
universities involves incorporating peace
and human rights norms and values in
teaching and learning processes, creating
safe spaces to discuss the past and
construct a shared future and addressing
physical and emotional violence such as
bullying and corporal punishment.
The Goals of Peace Education vary widely across the world. In
developing countries, where there is no specific enemy or
conflicts but a general lack of human rights, peace education
seeks to elucidate sources of inequality to promote a more
equitable, stable future.

How education can foster a more peaceful world?


1. Model kindness and empathy
Teachers, principals, and staff throughout the building can
model how to love and care for others through their
interactions among each other and with students. Adults
should get to know students individually, appreciating the
unique strength and needs of each student and member of
the school community.
2. Repair, don't punish
When students commit an offense, use models of restorative
justice to help them understand the effects of their actions and
how they can repair any damage done.
3. Create a democratic space
Involve students voices in establishing and revising school and
class norms, create classroom where children are encouraged
to share their ideas.
4. Give a voice to the excluded
On a micro level, this means encouraging students who are
commonly excluded to speak up in class. On a macro level, this
means incorporating into lessons the narratives of people who
have been historically discriminated against or excluded.
5. Encourage collaboration in diverse groups
Emphasize collaboration and teamwork and
deemphasize competition and self interests.
Structure long-term projects that allow children
from different social or ethnic groups to work
together toward a common goal.
