Our view of conflicts
Conflicts are disagreements that lead to tensions within and between people. They are an integral part of life, they are inevitable and they are dynamic.
Conflict and change are inextricably linked, and conflicts thus possess a positive potential. They can lead to social development and to more honesty and understanding, but they can also lead to hostility, stagnation and crippled relationships - depending on how they are handled and experienced.
Peaceful conflict resolution
The Danish Centre for Conflict Resolution exists to promote peaceful conflict resolution. This involves the dissemination of tools that can get people in difficult situations back on speaking terms, and the dissemination of techniques to enhance constructive communication.
The Centre is occupied with conflicts on many levels and exists in an historical and political reality that influences us, and which we want to influence. Conflict resolution is a conscious, active and peaceful effort to create conditions where
the basic needs of everyone involved can be met. Thus, our work may be characterised as peace politics and remains independent of party politics.
Course activities (commisioned work) and open courses. Voluntary activities such as facilitating free courses and workshops for other volunteer-based organisations throughout the country. Seminars about different topics within our main objectives.
The ALF Network is interesting for us because it provides a platform for sharing, developing and diversify the approach about peaceful conflict management. Hence, we think that valuable projects could be made nationally as well as transnationally with regards to conflict resolution, active citizenship and dialogue - important themes to be developed, explored and promoted around especially youth in europe and in the MENA region and specifically in crossnational projects. Already now we have the possibility to invite people from the ALF network to our open Dialogue Zones: short seminars about different areas of conflit management.
