Conflict Transformation Workshop for Indian
and Tibetan Youth Leaders
A
key goal of WISCOMP is to initiate ‘inter-cultural’ conflict
transformation workshops for youth leaders from diverse cultures.
Using this methodology, the WISCOMP team collaborated with the Tibetan
Center for Conflict Resolution to conduct a three-day intensive training
for young women and men from Tibet and India. Each participant was
carefully selected in order to build strategic relationships between
youth leaders living in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The purpose
was also to empower them with skills in active nonviolence to deal
with local, intercommunity conflicts in the state.
In
this context, WISCOMP brought together 30 youth leaders in Dharamsala
to:
• Strengthen the historical relationship between Indians and
Tibetans;
• Enable the participants to become “role models”
for nonviolence and compassion in their communities;
• Facilitate coexistence between the Indian and Tibetan communities
and celebrate their diverse traditions.
