Introduction

In this session you will be introduced to the ways in which circle sessions can be used to explore convivial peer relations – termed ‘peace between us’ in Peace at the Heart. You’ll consider the principles of using circle sessions as part of educational peace building before taking a deeper look at approaches to conflict.

By the end of this session, you should be able to:

  • understand the principles behind teaching in a circle
  • articulate the concept of empathy and its uses in supporting positive relationships and resolving conflict
  • begin to develop strategies for building peace through resolving conflict fairly.
