In conflict areas like the Middle East, people often create in and experience pressure
from others to use language, to communicate and/or to act in a way that matches one’s
"style/beliefs/traditions/heritage". These modes of language and methods of
communication, often hinder positive community development. Instead of promoting pro-
social community development, communities often develop norms of violent transactions
based on language and communicative strategies that are antisocial. People often
hunger/strive for positive/negative strokes by engaging in violent strategies/behaviors in
order to gain recognition, attention or responsiveness. One's subjective/objective
communication strategies, including scripts/narratives/stories often get people stuck in
certain actions to "prove" one is right, no matter the consequences, even at the cost of
pain, compulsion, self-defeating behavior, martyrdom, death and destruction.
In the workshop the participants will learn how to develop greater authenticity in their
communication. We will explore how to augment positive community development by
creating a task force that will focus on increasing understanding and deepening
connection. We will create and develop systems that will empower peace
educators/therapists with the tools to analyze the use of language enabling them to
understand/perceive/communicate their life scripts/narratives and to answer questions
like:
"What matters?”, "How do I/we get along?" , "What kind of person am/are I/we?. What
type of community do we want to develop?
The workshop offers a powerful approach for Peace Educators that challenges the
participants to discover/formulate a "paradigm shift" to conflict/tension situations while
offering creative interrelationship skills to effectively communicate information
concerning events/situations that will contribute towards pro-social community
development.
