Plattform Zivile Konfliktbearbeitung’s Post

This past Tuesday, November 5th, I was glad to return to an interact project—Nexus—to speak, share, and discuss the role of education in empowering peace and conflict resolution.We also discussed whether we should prioritize peace over justice, exploring how we can achieve justice in peaceful ways. Additionally, we talked about small- to large-scale initiatives that can significantly contribute to global peacebuilding efforts.We did some journaling as well. I asked the audience five reflective questions and joined them in answering, which felt deeply reflective.The questions I asked were:1. What does "peace" mean to you personally? Describe a moment when you felt at peace, and consider what elements contributed to that feeling.2. Identify situations or behaviors that often trigger conflict for you. How do these triggers affect your approach to resolving disagreements?3. Is reconciliation always necessary, or can peace be achieved with an unresolved conflict? Share your thoughts and any experiences that have influenced your perspective.4. What are some differences (cultural, ideological, generational) that you see as sources of conflict? How can understanding these differences contribute to peacebuilding?5. Imagine you’re looking back on your life years from now. What impact would you hope to have made toward peace and conflict resolution, in your personal life and beyond? (P.S. In the photo below, you can see me being introduced to the audience and feeling  comfortable as always lol my face says everything)

Today, I had the privilege of attending the five-day Peace Ambassador Program organized by Servelead Humanitarian Initiative, themed "One Nigeria, One Voice for Peace." Dr. Kingsley Udegbunam, our first guest speaker, delivered an insightful session on Conflict Mapping and Analysis. He provided an in-depth exploration of key concepts including Conflict, Peace, and Violence. Dr. Udegbunam elaborated on the essential components of conflict analysis and mapping which are: 1. Issues: The specific problems, grievances, or disputes that drive the conflict. 2. Actors: The individuals, groups, organizations, or institutions involved in or affected by the conflict. 3. Contexts: The environment or background in which the conflict takes place. 4. Power Relations: The distribution of power among the various actors involved in the conflict. 5. Perceptions: The subjective views and interpretations of the conflict and its elements by the actors involved. 6. Positions: The specific interests, goals, or demands of each actor in the conflict. Dr. Udegbunam also introduced various methods of conflict analysis and mapping, including Fact-finding, Analysis Meetings, and Case Studies. He explained tools such as the Onion/Doughnut/Coconut model, the ABC Triangle, the Conflict Tree, and the Conflict Map to illustrate these concepts effectively. Mr. @Esimaje Micheal Onoseme, our second guest speaker, addressed the topic of Tolerance for Interfaith Peacebuilding. He defined tolerance as the willingness to accept differing behaviors and beliefs, even if one does not agree with or approve of them. Tolerance also involves the ability to endure difficult conditions and view situations from others' perspectives. Mr. Onoseme emphasized the importance of tolerance in reducing friction and conflict and highlighted how it provides opportunities for learning and growth from diverse viewpoints. The session with both guest speakers was highly interactive, engaging, and impactful. Their insights and expertise greatly enriched our understanding of conflict resolution and peacebuilding. #serveleadhumanitarianinitiative #thenigeriawewant #peaceambassadorsprogram #onenigeriaonevoiceforpeace
