ministry for peace is an organisation working for the creation of a Ministry for Peace within government, whose purpose will be to implement, in all areas of Italian government and society, the programme of action outlined in the 1999 UN Declaration on a Culture of Peace. This aims to create values, attitudes and behaviours that address the root causes of violence, with a view to solving problems through dialogue and negotiation among individuals, groups and nations.

Conflict Resolution Thought: Fighting Fair Guide
Unresolved conflict is hugely stressful! (There’s already quite enough stress around with the financial crisis we are all facing.) Perhaps this new version of our Fighting Fair Guide can help. Work through its questions with a problem in mind and it’s bound to make a difference. The process may inspire you to study the skills in more depth or remind you of a valuable tool that might have slipped off your list of useful strategies.
This Guide is a great way to introduce conflict resolution skills to others. They’re all there in a nutshell. Perhaps you might print out a few copies for your top drawer or waiting area at work. Get one up on a noticeboard or the fridge door.
