Responding to Conflict
We specialise in transforming conflict and violence by
facilitating individuals and organisations to address the
underlying causes of violence in situations of real or
potential conflict through skills development and capacity
building. We work towards a just and sustainable peace.
We believe that conflict, as distinct from violence, is an
inevitable feature of life that cannot be ignored. We can
and must find ways to address it creatively – across
cultures, ideologies and continents – so that, wherever
possible, positive change occurs.
