Jirafa Toolbox in full colour
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. 3 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”. ← Sharp hearing Thinks before ← speaking Smily mouth Gains better ← overview Long neck Shows empathy ← Big heart 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. 4 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. Educational goals and indicators Debrief 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. 5 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”. Sources: Francis, D. (2004).

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. Educational goals and indicators Attitudes Be willing to: Skills Be able to: s h a r e o p i n i o n s a b o u t be more aware about what is communication. important in communication. respect others opinions and listen. 5. These last four words are written down on the board/big paper where you wrote “4 words on communication”. Do 1. Give all the participants a post-it and a pen. Ask them to write down four words they think are the most important elements for good communication. 7 Activity 2 - Four words on communication Debrief • • • • • • • • • • • 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? 8 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. Debrief • How did you communicate? • Was it hard to achieve the goals without talking? • The first task was different for all groups but the second was the same, did you manage to do the second? • If you didn’t, why did you get stuck? • How can you relate this to conflict resolution? • How aware of your nonverbal communication are you in your daily live? • Do you think that being aware can make the difference? Educational goals and indicators Attitudes Be willing to: Skills Be able to: cooperate as me- r e c o g n i s e yo u r mbers of a team. own reactions when challenged. use nonverbal communication in observe other vaa better way. riables in conflict and resolution. Get all the groups to make one shape together. Every group should have a different shape, but they don’t know that. (e.g. Group 1 have to get all the groups to make a circle, but Group 2 have to get all the groups to make a square). Get all the groups to make a CISV sign together. Knowledge Understand: that 80% of the communication process is nonverbal. Do 1. Divide the group in at least three different groups. 2. The activity should be done in complete silence. 3. The groups should receive a paper with two tasks: 9 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? Materials: Papers and colours. Suggested time: 45 minutes.

After this activity the participants should gain knowledge of the Giraffe Language. For further information take a look at page 2 about the Giraffe vs. Jackal language. Materials: Paper and markers. Suggested Time: 30 minutes. 4. Each group should stand in front of the whole group and present their answer to both questions. 5. After their explanation they should their piece on the big giraffe drawing. Before starting the debriefing you should do an introduction to the Giraffe Language theory. Educational goals and indicators Debrief Attitudes Be willing to: The giraffe language theory is very helpful to gain a better attitude towards conflict. If everyone stops for one moment and think of these four attitudes there are high chances to have a better communication process. Knowledge Understand: use Giraffe language as a the nonviolent communidaily life tool. cation theory by Ma-rshall Rosenberg. • • Do 1. Prepare a drawing in the shape of a giraffe, and other four drawings that represent: Active listening, thinking before speaking, having a better overview and showing empathy. 2. Make four different groups, and give each group one representing drawing. 3. Then ask the groups to discuss about: What is communication? How they can relate the drawing they got to communication? • • • • • 11 What do you see in the drawing? Do you think one of these characteristics is more important than the others? Would you add another characteristic? Which one of this characteristics can you relate the most to? Why do you think that good communication is important? How would you respond to someone using the giraffe language while speaking to you? Would you respond different if they use the jackal language? Activity 6 - Dialogue not Debate Materials: Small papers with random themes (socks, potatoes, dogs, etc.), post-its, pens, two big posters and a marker. Suggested time: 30 minutes. debate and and on the other characteristics they think belongs to dialogue. 7. Write debate on one poster and dialogue on the other. 8. Make the participants put their post-its on the posters. 9. Discuss why they put this characteristics. 10.The facilitator explains the difference between dialogue and debate, and clarify the concept created by the group. 11.Repeat the activity but ask them to use dialogue (ask questions and listen to answers ). 12.After 2 minutes the facilitator says that they have 1 minute to come to an agreement.

How did it feel in the second part? which one did you like better? When do you use debate in your daily life? Can you give an example? When do you use dialogue in your daily life? Can you give an example? How did you come to an agreement? 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.

Fold it again 5. Then rip two of the corners 5. Tell them to open their eyes and show their piece of paper. Educational goals and indicators Debrief Attitudes Be willing to: • Skills Be able to: • • think that there are different think outside the box. ways to solve conflicts. • • Do 1. Everyone gets a piece of paper. 2. Tell them that they will make a device that will make it possible to create peace. What they just have to do is to follow the instructions carefully. 3. Then they have to close their eyes or be blindfolded. 4. Tell them to hold the paper, and follow the instructions you give. 1. Fold the paper one time 2. Fold it one more time 3. Rip the corners 15 What do you have? Does the others look very different? The ones who don't look the same as you, is it because they did not follow the instructions? Can you think that there are many ways to solve peace? Its not just one device. With the same instructions we can get our own interpretations and solutions. Is that a good thing?

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. Materials: A banana, pre-made team instructions and miscellaneous things to make participants feel like they are in a court room. Suggested Time: 1 hour. Educational goals and indicators Attitudes Be willing to: Skills Be able to: observe and un- use different coderstand people’s nflict styles. conflict styles. develop creative solutions to conflicts. Knowledge Understand: that there are different ways to respond to conflict. that actors in a conflict may have dif ferent power and authority. 17 Activity 8 - Addressing different conflict styles - I Want the Banana! Debrief These are some questions that can help you to do de debrief: 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. • 18 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? Support Material - Conflict Styles Here you will find further information of the Conflict Styles theory.

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). Educational goals and indicators Attitudes Be willing to: Skills Be able to: get further information and do a conflict analysis and to understand better and co- understand the importance nflcit. of it. Do 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. Materials: Conflict analysis handout and cards with actors in conflict and behaviours in conflicts. (Included in the resources from the toolbox). Suggested Time: 1 hour. 21 Activity - Conflict analysis Debrief Resources: The facilitator should ask different questions depending on the different scenarios that were created. Use the questions in the handout as a starting point for the debrief. • For example: • • • • • 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? 22 Demmers, Jolle (2012) Theories of Violent Conflicts: An Introduction. Routhledge: London Activity 10 - Peace Trumps Materials: Pre-made papers with the instructions and peace trumps cards (Included in the resources from the toolbox). Suggested time: 1 hour. 2. Make the groups dependent on how many sets of cards you have. 3. Tell them that they are a part of the Nobel committee. They will decide who is going to win 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 any more cards. Educational goals and indicators Attitudes Be willing to: Knowledge Understand: get more knowledge about that peace has many faces Nobel Peace Prize winners. so you can contribute in many different ways. share their knowledge about Nobel Peace Prize winners. about people and organisations who made a acknowledge that they can big contribution to peace. contribute to peace in many different ways. see that all projects start small and can make a BIG impact. Do Tip: One set is recommended to be used by a maximum of seven people. 1. Give people a brief explanation of the Nobel peace prize winners. 23 Activity 10 - Peace Trumps and support material Debrief • • • • • • • • • • • power structures. More than 1.2 billion people live in 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 their existing knowledge about the peace prize and 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) 24 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 Attitudes Be willing to: act as a peace building agent in your own community. understand that you can make the difference. Do 1. Prepare a cozy and relaxing room. The facilitator can turn off the lights, play relaxing music, etc. 2. Tell the participants to wait outside of the room. 3. Make sure the participants know that they have to be in silence for this activity to be a success. 4. Blindfold everyone, and help them to get in the room, and lay on the floor. 5. Remember to spread them a long the room so they are separate from each other. 25 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?…” 26 Conflict analysis activity - Handout Questions to take into consideration: Who are the parts involved? What kind of conflict is it? (National, International, Interpersonal, Local?) What is the conflict about (Resources, history, money, love, family, wishes, needs etc) What is happening within the actors?
