The core of Outreach Strategists Conflict Solutions practice relies on the belief that hostile conflict can be dealt with through an integrated, multifaceted approach and that teaching those involved the skills for constructive engagement is not only possible, it’s essential. By identifying key points of mutual agreement many intractably adversarial situations can be turned into inclusive opportunities for growth. We believe that while differences and conflicts are the natural way of the world, they do not necessarily need to lead to violence and blood-shed. If properly managed and built upon, such differences can act as catalysts for progress.
Hostile conflicts often have their roots in the distant past. It is by addressing these shared histories of violence in a constructive, continuous dialogue that real and lasting change is possible. We believe building peace is a process, not an event. This approach to resolving conflict goes far beyond the notion of simple engagement. It is a fundamental altering of relationships.
