Our approach

Based in Bristol and set up in 2003,
we are developing a model of community
conflict transformation . We believe that:

• conflict is inevitable - it's how you react to conflict that counts

• conflict is an indication that something needs fixing - and a chance to do something about it

• people feel more confident when they are equipped with the skills to understand and deal with conflict.
