Toolbox
The Jirafa Project
CISV Norway and CISV Colombia, with the support of
Fredskorpset arrange every year an exchange project for four
youths between 21 and 27 years olds. Each project is part of
a long-term cooperation plan between CISV Colombia and
CISV Norway in a joint effort to strengthen both
organisations through an exchange of knowledge and best
practices. The projects goals is to contribute in local and
international activities, workshops and seminars, and to
produce educational tools around the projects theme. This
year the CISV content area will be Conflict and Resolution.
2014-2015 project is called The Jirafa Project.
This toolbox is for you guys to prepare for camps, so that you
can get the most out of 2015 content area: Conflict and
resolution. The Jirafa toolbox is created by: David Gomez,
Juan David Valencia, Sigrid Elena Hauge and May Linn
Orkelbog based on their workshops and activities in CISV.

Why The Jirafa Project?
The Giraffe Vs. Jackal language, its a concept wellknow in the conflict resolution world thanks to Dr.
Marshall B. Rosenberg
The giraffe do ← have…
Listens
actively
These two animals represents the way we
communicate to each other. Communication can
often cause conflict, but it can also be the solution.
A person speaking the jackal language would say:”I
feel angry because you..” while a person speaking
giraffe language would say “I feel angry because I
want…”. The style we choose to communicate to
each other is very important, especially within
conflict resolution. However, it is also quite difficult
speaking the giraffe way. It takes a lot of practice,
and many times it is easy to start blaming the other
person and use “you” language, instead of “I”.

To turn yourself into a giraffe just follow these steps
when facing a conflict:
1) Observe: Tell exactly what the other did, that you
didn’t like.
2) Feel: What do you feel when this happens?
3) Need: Which of your needs have not been
satisfied?
4) Wish: What can be done differently in the future?
You need an achievable wish.

Activity 1 - Identify Conflict
The idea behind this activity is to show that conflict
is not just negative, but an inherent part of
everyone’s daily life. In fact a conflict handled in a
productive way can lead to positive growth and
development.
Materials: Markers and a big piece of paper.
Suggested time: 30 minutes.
Ask the participants to write down their associating
words. When that part is finished ask the
participants what they mean with each word, and
why they wrote that word.
If there are no positive words, suggests that one of
the words on the paper could be "development” or
“positive”, and ask them why these words could fit
on the paper.

Knowledge
A conflict have different outcomes, not all of them
are satisfactory for one or both parts, which leads to
frustration. This can affect in different ways and can
be really serious and energy consuming for those
involved.
Understand:
that conflict shouldn’t be avoided and is part of everyones life.
that there might be positive outcomes from a conflict.
The word conflict might seem a little abstract and
difficult to identify for many people, especially
because the media and some agents just associate
conflict with violence.
what a conflict could be.
Do
Have a big piece of paper on the floor with the word
“Conflict”.
Nevertheless there is also outcomes from conflicts
that can benefit all parts involved, leading to a
transcendence state of peace building.

What is conflict?
“Conflict is likely to be experienced whenever ideas,
activities, structures and people change in relation to each
other. Since change is not only inevitable but also often
desirable, conflict is unavoidable as well” (Francis
A: Attitude
2004:4)
As Francis presented conflict is present in our
everyday life, it can be negative or positive. That all
depends on how you decide to approach it. Johan
Galtung have proposed that conflict can be seen as
a triangle. In this triangle you have A: Attitudes, B:
Behaviour and C: Contradiction.
B: Behaviour
C: Contradiction
A for Attitude: Parties perception and mi-
According to Galtung all three components are
present in a conflict. Conflict is a dynamic process
where structure, attitudes and behaviour are
constantly changing and influencing each other.
When this dynamic develops, the parties can
organise around the structure that surfaces in order
to pursue their interests (Ramsbotham 2011:12).
This is when a conflict can intensify and spread. In
violent conflicts the parties tend to make
stereotypes of each others or dehumanise the
other part to justify their actions.
sperceptions of each other. Attitudes are often
influenced by emotions such as hate, fear, anger
and so on.
B for Behaviour: The way you wish to show the
conflict. Can be threats or attacks, but it can also be
cooperation.
C for Contradiction: Refers to the underlying conflict
situation, which includes the “incompatibility of
goals”.

Activity 2 - Four words on communication
(This activity is taken from the book: Fra konflikt til samarbeid
2006 by Geir Dale.)
2. Tell them they have two minutes to do this.
3. When everyone have written down their four
words, tell them to pair up with a partner. Give
the pairs a new post-it and tell them that
together they will make a new list with four
words about communication. No new words that
were not on their first lists can be added. If their
words and ideas abut communication are very
different, make them reach a compromise. They
have four minutes to do this.
Communicating in a proper manner is very
important in order to gain knowledge and
understanding of a current situation. This activity
has the goal of increasing awareness about
communication and what is important in order to
achieve good communication.
Materials: Pens, post-its and a board/big paper
where you write “4 words on communication”.
Suggested time: 30-45 minutes.
4. This process continues so the pair of two will
find another pair and make a group of four, and
then the group of four will make a group of
eight and so on until the whole group works
together. Eventually there will just be one post-it
with four words. As the groups gets bigger you
can give them less time, making them feel like
they are under time pressure.

Why do you have those four words on the board?
What do you mean with the words there?
Where your words similar or different?
Was it difficult to make compromises?
Was it difficult to give up words that you liked?
Are you all happy with the four words you ended
up with? Why not?
Did you feel heard or seen in this process?
Did anyone take “leadership” / did anyone
withdraw from the process?
How did you feel when the group became bigger?
Because of time restrictions was it difficult
coming to an agreement? Would the words on the
board be different if you had more time?
Did you use those four elements during the
activity?

Activity 3 - Nonverbal communication is also important
Nonverbal communication is a part of the whole
communication process. It is said that over half of
our communication is non verbal (Mehrabian,
Nonverbal Communication 2007). There are several
examples of nonverbal communication like facial
expressions, eye contact, touching, tone of voice,
posture, time systems, physical space, etc.

Materials: Pre-made papers with the instructions.
Suggested Time: 45 minutes.
4. All groups will probably be stuck in the first task
and none of them will try to enforced second
one that is the one achievable (TIP: the
facilitator should never say what order to
accomplish the tasks). Cut the activity there and
continue to the debriefing.

Activity 4 - An original shoe design (Empathy Activity)
The word empathy is often related to the ability “to
step into someone else’s shoes” or “to see from the
other’s point of view”. Empathy is the idea of an
appropriate response or action as part of an ability
to identify or understand another’s position
(Gordon, 2007). Empathy can shape the direction
that a conflict can have. When you have a greater
understanding of a situation, you are already
humanizing the conflict. By doing this, it is easier to
understand what can be changed and what cannot.
Empathy can also help to understand feelings,
needs and wishes of the actors involved and further
more their behaviour and actions.
Do
1. Divide the group in pairs.
2. Talking is not allowed
3. Each person will design a shoe for his/her
partner. It will represent the point of view and
identity of him/her, according to these
questions:
1. What do you think is the most important
thing for your partner?
2. What do you think is what he/she hates
the most?
3. What do you think he/she needs the
most?

Support Material - Dialogue not Debate
What is a dialogue?
Dialogue comes from the greek word dialogos
(Dia="between or among” and Logos= "the word”).
What dialogue seeks to do is to find a shared
connection. People are not concerned about taking
sides and about winning or losing, like in a debate.
Rather they seek to find a middle point were one listen
respectfully to each other. During dialogue people are
also open to be wrong and change their opinion. By
doing this one can gain new knowledge and greater
understanding so that common answer is reached.
What is a debate/discussion?
A debate/discussion is usually more threatening,
where the parties takes sides. Usually one is not very
concerned about the others opinions and people have
a strong commitment to their own point of view. In
debates it is not uncommon to defend assumptions as
if they were truth. It is also more common to listen
after flaws and to counter them with arguments. This
makes it difficult to reach a solution.

Activity 8 - Addressing different conflict styles - I Want the Banana!
“The more alternatives, the less likely the violence” – Johan
Galtung.
Do
1. Make two groups (between 4-6 in each, this will
make them more active in the activity).
2. You serve as the judge in the activity.
3. The groups are on each side, and you (judges)
place the banana in the middle of the table.
4. Present the case to each group without the
other group knowing: “Your client will die if he
does not eat banana”. None of the groups
should know that they have the same
statement.
5. One client is: A hardworking dad that supports
his family and gives to charity. The other client
is: A Nurse and single mother with three
children, she does volunteer work in her local
community.
6. The participants have two minutes to prepare
their case to why they should have the banana.
They have to convince the judge.
7. You as a judge will not accept the outcome of
the first two rounds. This is for them to think of
as many solutions as possible.
8. They get two more minutes to discuss new
solutions. This could be repeated as many
rounds as you will like for them to approach as
many conflict styles as possible.
9. How will they solve this conflict so everyone is
satisfied?
This activity is taken and adapted from Johan
Galtung and his thesis on conflict transformation.
Conflict styles is about different ways to approach a
conflict. The goal of this activity is to give the
participants additional knowledge about the styles.
Please take a look to the graph on conflict styles
(page 17). This illustrates the five approaches to
solve a conflict.

Debrief
These are some questions that can help you to do

There are several ways to address conflicts. The
idea with this activity is to let the participants know
the different possibilities. Usually there is a high
priority in conflict situation to defend personal
interests.
•
•
•
As you can see in the conflict styles table (page
16-18) there are endless options to solve the
banana-conflict, which one will you go for? The most
obvious and the reason why you should not accept
the first outcomes is that both groups will go for a
win-lose situation (contending style). They want that
banana for their client, even though they hear that
the other groups client will die too if they do not get
banana.

This can then be generalized into larger conflicts
between nations or actors. Conflicts between
individuals and within countries and at international
level may be more similar than different. It only
takes longer time to solve at national and
international level.

What was this activity about?
What kind of solutions did you present? (here the
facilitator can lead the discussion towards to the
different conflict styles presented in Table 1).
Did you know about these styles from before?
How do you react when you face a conflict?
Can you give an example of a situation where you
know you have used one of these conflict styles?
Why is it important to know about these conflict
styles?
How can the knowledge of conflict styles help you
when you are facing a conflict in the future?
How can this be applied to other conflicting
circumstances?
How can you use this knowledge about different
conflict styles in your everyday life?
Can you find any similarities about these conflict
styles to current international conflicts?

Activity 9 - Conflict analysis
It is common in the study of conflict to develop a
map or an analysis that helps us to understand a
conflict. An analysis is the process of breaking a
complex topic into smaller parts in order to gain a
better understanding of it. This is important,
especially for violent conflicts. Behind an analysis is
a set of assumptions, and it is important to get as
clear overview as possible because this will affect
how policymakers and politicians will approach preconflict situations or post-conflict recovery
(Demmers 2012: 12).

1. Have the cards ready (You have one pile of
cards with possible actors in a conflict and one
pile of cards with different behaviour the actors
pursue).
2. Divide the participants in groups of 4-6 people.
3. Make them pick two actors and one behaviour.
4. Give the participants the additional handout
with some criteria they have to include in the
step 5.
5. They get 20 minutes to prepare a conflict
scenario role-play from their imagination, using
the cards and handouts they have gotten. They
can dress up and use things they find suitable.
6. Preform the role-plays and discuss it afterwards.
By doing a conflict analysis we can unravel the
complex dynamics and processes in order to
understand why people react as they do or why they
resort to violence. This activity is for the participants
to reflect over what questions one should ask when
faced with a conflict or when they hear about
conflicts around in the world.

•
•
•
What kind of scenario did your group get?
Participants who had an interpersonal role play:
have anyone been in a similar situation? Can you
give examples? How did you deal with it? Could
you have solved differently?
Participants who had an international /local or
national role play: Do you think it was realistic the
role play you did? Does anyone know about any
current conflicts? What do you know?
Have you ever though about these questions
when dealing with a conflict?
Why do you think its important to think about
these questions in a conflict situation?

the Nobel peace prize.
4. Deal the cards randomly facing down. The
participants are not allowed to look at the cards.
5. Explain the game:
1. Everyone takes one card they received.
2. They have one minute to read the card
and prepare an argument. About why
should their candidate win.
3. Each person have 30 seconds to tell
their arguments as to why their
candidate should win.
4. Everyone should place their cards in the
middle of the group.
5. When everyone have argued for their
candidate, they should at the count of
three decide on the winner by pointing
at the card. The person who had that
candidate will “win” the cards used in
that round.
6. Do this until the participants don't have

conflict affected and fragile states, and suffer acute
levels of violence (World Bank 2014 taken from: http://
www.worldbank.org/en/topic/fragilityconflictviolence).
Every day, however, people all over the world are
working to prevent violence and consolidate peace
within their countries or local communities. Peace
building is done in many ways such as through human
rights initiatives, dialogue, reconciliation, humanitarian
work, development activities and negotiation to name a
few. Our goal with Peace Trumps is to give the
participants knowledge around conflicts and processes
connected to these. With this game people get to share

become more aware that a contribution towards a more
peaceful world can come in many different ways. Small
ideas can grow, and make a big impact.
Why did we do this?
Was it difficult to defend your arguments?
Did you know about many of the Nobel winners from
before?
Was it difficult to argue in favour of someone you did
not know about?
Do you have any favourite peace prize winner?
Have you done any activities for peace building in your
home country?
How many different ways to resolve a conflict did you
observe in this activity?
What can you do to resolve conflicts?
How did you feel about the decisions? Was it hard to
choose only one winner every round?
Do you get any inspiration from what these people
have done?
What was more important for you, that the candidate
you yourself presented should win, or that the most
suitable candidate in general should win?
The Nobel Peace Prize
The Nobel Peace Prize is an international prize which is
awarded annually by the Norwegian Nobel Committee
according to guidelines laid down in Alfred Nobel's will.
Why the peace trumps?
For the last decades there has been a shift in conflicts,
as they have turned more violent, more directed towards
civil society and more intrastate then interstate. Today
some primary factors to conflicts are economic
imbalances, domestic governance and international
“and one part to the person who shall have done the most or the
best work for fraternity between the nations and the abolition or
reduction of standing armies and the formation and spreading of
peace congresses.” (http://nobelprize.org)

Activity 11 - Act Now!
After learning about different tools and examples
from conflict and resolution, this activity fits
perfectly to make participants be willing to act and
understand that they are active global citizens.
6. The facilitator should make a speech to make
them think about their life in CISV, different
conflicts and how they take part in them (You
can find and example in the support material).
Materials: Blindfolds for all participants, big mirror,
and relaxing music.
Suggested Time: 1 hour.
Debrief
7. Make them think about, what kind of conflicts
arise in your local community? What can you do
for your local community? Try to make them
think about measurable examples towards
peace.
8. Let them reflect for 2-3 minutes about this.
9. Make a circle with a cover mirror as a part of
the circle.
10. Tell the participants to take out the blindfold.
11. Ask if someone wants to answer about the
conflicts in their local communities and what
can they do for it.
12. After talking about this, make the participants
to do a line facing the mirror. Tell them that they
will run towards the cover mirror and say that
they are the agents for change.
13. Uncover the mirror so when they run towards it
they will see themselves and understand that
they are the agents for change, the peace
builders.
14. Make them reflect that the change is in their
hands.
Educational goals and indicators

Support Material - Act Now
Where does that person come from?
Can you think about the activity you liked the most in
that experience?
What is the most important thing you have learned in
CISV?
Have you applied this knowledge in your daily life?
How?
Ideas for the reflexion speech
The idea is to make the participants think about
themselves as agents for change, or peace builders.
The facilitator needs to be aware that the speech he
is giving to the participants is motivational. When
the participants are blindfolded it is recommended
to give them some seconds after each phrase so
they have some time to reflect about what its been
said.
Now try to think about your daily live…
What kind of conflicts do they arise in your daily live?
With your parents?
With your friends?
In your local community?
This speech is recommended to have three parts:
history of the participants as peace agents (could
be a CISV background), current situation in local
communities and future possibilities of them taking
action. There are not good or bad motivational
speeches, here is a brief example that you can
follow, modified or pimp how ever you want:
“…take a minute go back to the past, try to think of the
following questions and answer to yourself
A peace agent is someone who has understand that can
make peace even with little things, is someone who realize
that can make the change in the world starting by his/her
closest circle.
Try to remember of your first CISV experience, maybe a
village or a step-up.
Do you remember where was it?
Who was the delegation that traveled with you?
Do you remember who was the first person you met?
Do you think you can be a peace agent?
What can you do for your local community as a peace
agent?
What kind of little things can you do to help in your
closest circles?…”
