Conflict Management

Have you ever been in an terrible situation?
Have you ever fight with your parents, your friend, with unknown people?
I am totally sure that you have. It's in our nature and we can't avoid this.

All of us, in our family, we face with the generation gap. We think that our parents can't understand us. So children and parents discuss a lot today. The children are very non-comformist. They are against of all things.

But most of all we have conflicts in our work. As youth workers, not few times we face confliction situation among participants in national and international level.

We live in a small cultural mix society,while working together, so we have different habits. This does that we crash in conflicts. With problems like this we face everyday because we live in a multiracial society. We think, act, judge in different way from other people who belong to other cultures.

It's very important for our mental and physical helth to be good when we face this difference. We have to be patient.

People who are not patient have to find it for they own good. It's not good to be an angry person.


So we ask a question: how we can manage conflicts?

1- First of all we have to understand cultural differences in order to reduce intolerance in the environment they are working in their associations.

2- We have to acquire knowledge, skills, and good practice to prevent conflicts that might happen in local, national, international level where we are working.

3- We have to combat our prejudices.

4- Non-formal education is an instrument for conflict resolution.
