Conflict is different for everyone… especially when coming
from a different culture. What constitutes a conflict in one culture may be a lively and healthy debate in another. What is an assertive and healthy expression of desire in one culture may deeply offensive and cause pain and escalation somewhere else. So, what is conflict?

How about getting involved with International
Conflict Resolution Day? In 2011, it will fall on Thursday, October 20th. One of the easiest ways you can help spread awareness is to let others know what is happening in your area on or around Conflict Resolution Day. What kind of special activities are planned? Will you personally be doing something to honour the day? Can you sing conflict resolution-related songs? Want to read a poem for the world to hear? Phone it in! In celebration of CR Day, there’s a fun set of online games with conflict resolution content appropriate for different age levels. Fun and educational too.
