Conflict Transformation
On Winning the Peace
Some general principles:
There is no roadmap but you are on the road
Reconciliation (and conciliation) involves work on multiple levels with multiple actors (government, parties and wider civsoc)
The need to have the Difficult yet Collaborative Conversations
Understanding differences: bridging the divides: finding common ground
Value in-betweeners and Consensus Figures
The need to learn and teach the tools and tactics of dialogue
There is a creative tension between the struggle for truth, justice and peace
