Beyond Intractability: A Free Knowledge Base on More Constructive Approaches to Destructive Conflict
   

Exercises

The following exercises may be helpful to those who engage in bridge-building activities:

  • Perspective Taking - Part of the challenge of being a bridge builder is being able to see a situation from different perspectives. This exercise helps people to see and ultimately understand the power of taking different perspectives.

  • Constructive Conflict - This exercise is designed to let people tell others about their experiences in resolving conflict constructively. By sharing a personal story about how they helped deal with a conflict constructively, they are also explaining how they have acted as third siders without even knowing it.

Many oppressors are also oppressed. Nonviolent confrontation is the only confrontation that allows us to respond realistically to such complexity. -- Jane Meyerding
