Creating Space for Making Change

100 civil society actors from a variety of organizations and public institutions all over Poland are trained in dialogue and conflict transformation by Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue (NCPD). This initiative from Orange Poland was a contribution to the celebration of 100 years of independence for Poland. The focus of Orange Poland, and the network of organizations, to train a wide range of civil society actors in dialogue and conflict transformation, is a much appreciated acknowledgement of the Nansen Approach. This provides a unique opportunity for constructive collaboration. The aim of this report is to assess the relevance of tools, methodologies and approaches that are introduced through NCPD training courses, and to increase our understanding of the context the participants work in, as well as their main concerns, achievements and challenges.

Nansen Handbook for Trainers in Dialogue and Conflict Transformation

How do we engage with people in a way that opens for their experiences to be heard and their perspectives to be included? What are the conditions for conflicting parties to meet and listen to each other with respect and recognition? These are basic questions for all who work with social processes to promote peaceful coexistence. In this handbook we present ideas and tools that we have found useful for initiating dialogue to promote mutual understanding and constructive approaches to conflict. It is first and foremost a tool for trainers in dialogue and conflict transformation, but can be read by, and found useful for teachers, social workers, leaders and anyone concerned with human interaction. You are invited to join in a creative journey to explore the potential in bringing people together!

Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue Activities in Ukraine 2014 – 2016

Ukraine reportThis report describes visits made by representatives from Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue (NCPD) in Ukraine between May 2014 and July 2016. The purpose of these visits was to explore the relevance of dialogue as an approach to deal with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and to connect with local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). Many years ago, when we started to work in the Western Balkans, we invited potential leaders from ex-Yugoslavia to prolonged dialogue sessions on what were the causes and the consequences of the war. Is reconciliation possible? How to rebuild trust and willingness to cooperate? How to develop structures that foster integration and unity? These dialog seminars led to the development of the Nansen dialogue method, which has been practiced in
more than 100 seminars in Lillehammer and more than 200 in the Western Balkans.
