Considering the omnipresence of conflicts we wanted to equip young people with skills to solve conflicts by developing their communication skills and teaching them about conflict and its aspects and ways that they can solve conflicts. In this way, we wanted to improve their personal relationships and, therefore, their life quality since good personal relationships are one of the defining traits for higher life quality. Furthermore, considering the fact that Croatia and our partnering countries are all affected by ethnic tension (that can often lead to conflict), we thought that addressing an issue like conflict resolution is quite important. The project strived to foster empathy and understanding by teaching participants to understand several perspectives, as well as, to respect diversity. Based on this, the project objectives were the following: 1. Contribute to young people's understanding of conflict and its aspects We wanted to teach them that the occurrence of conflict is a normal and inevitable part of human relationships and our society but that the approach that one has to conflict is what matters. Therefore, we focused on developing an understanding of aspects of conflict; why conflicts emerge, how they manifest, what the main traits are and how to try to see and understand perspectives others have in conflict. Furthermore, through methods such as role-play and acting, they experienced strategies for conflict handling, which helped them reassess their conflicts and behaviours (strategies). Through group work and discussion, they became familiar with dispute mechanisms that helped them evaluate conflicts/problems on higher levels (political and ethnic problems). 2. Improve young people's communication skills To help better their personal relationships and conflict handling, we aimed at developing and improving their communication skills. To improve the possibility of using appropriate communication behaviours (assertiveness), we practised non-violent communication (active listening, I-messages). Alongside this, we focused on emotion recognition and other people’s perspectives through situation analysis and storytelling. Finally, we learned about non-verbal communication (tone of voice, eye contact, hand movement, etc.)., participants learned the components of non-verbal communication and the role/influence of non-verbal communication in conversations and everyday communication. 3. Develop young people’s skills to manage and solve conflicts Participants learned about conflict solving both in theory and practice. First, they learned about conflict and its aspects, then about the tools they can use to analyse conflicts and therefore, how to solve conflicts more successfully. After that, we focused on communication skills (non-violent communication, active listening and non-verbal communication) and ways to implement these skills in everyday life. Finally, we practised all these things they learned together through; the method of the theatre of oppressed and exercise Building bridges.
