In peace facilitation, education, and research, the focus is increasingly on the human mind as a source of hatred, violence, and war. The thesis is designed to help people interested in peace and conflict transformation understand the mental and social processes that enable us to engage in peaceful dialogue. Conditions are explored to provide a safer space for voluntarily stepping out of the comfort zone into a conflict-positive space supported by values and clear norms. The qualitative content analysis of six expert interviews results in methodological impulses and didactic considerations for practitioners on planning their own workshops or facilitation sessions. The exploration navigates between the embodied individual and group experience, and a critical discussion on global peace and conflict that sheds light on the context in which the research takes place. It also provides a clear political stance on assumptions and expected outcomes of peace facilitation, normatively committing to reject violence, expose war propaganda and seeking to unfold potential for peace through embodied understanding.weiterlesen
