Changes
Key: Additions Deletions
| Purpose | Apply the theoretical concepts to a conflict that is real to participants. |
| Time: | 45 minutes – 11/2 hours |
| Materials: | Handout, pens, large paper (flip chart paper), markers, tape |
| Procedure: | I) Pass handout around to participants. II) Ask participants to identify the actors and stage of conflict in the region they work and possible roles for peacebuilders. Give them time to think about the actors and conflict. III) Ask participants to divide into small groups, ideally with participants who focused on the same or a similar region, to discuss the various parties, stage of conflict and possible roles for peacebuilders. IV) Bring the small groups back into one large group to collectively identify various possible peacebuilding roles. |
| Debriefing: | Discussion of the peacebuilding roles can use the triangle as a guide, the stages of conflict as a guide, or both together. If you are using both together, put each level of intervention on a separate piece of flip chart paper, and divide the page into the stages of conflict, making a rough grid similar to that below. During the discussion, highlight some of the similarities of roles across the stages of conflict, and some of the differences. |
