Transforming Conflict
Facilitating Nonviolence
A Facilitator's Guide
The purpose of the Transforming Conflict module is to enable the participant
to develop and experience the use of communication skills for nonviolence to
transform conflict and to negotiate with other people. The participants explore
the extent of violence and nonviolence in everyday life. A safe respectful environment
is created for learning to occur. In this safe environment participants are
able to experience skills and strategies which are appropriate in real life
situations. Participants can have fun experiencing these skills through co-operative
group active learning activities.
On successful completion of the Transforming Conflict module, the participant
will have experienced:
• community through the group activities in the module
• commitment to social responsibility
• overt affirmation and how it affects individuals.
On successful completion of this module, the participant will be able to:
• use community building and affirmation (respect and caring for self and others) skills
• identify strategies for conflict transformation/resolution and negotiation
• use a variety of conflict transformation strategies and communication skills
• demonstrate the use of conflict transformation communication skills to transform

HOW TO USE THESE RESOURCES
This resource package contains:
1. Course and module information (from the syllabuses).
2. Facilitation strategies (including delivery suggestions and templates).
3. Learning activities (detailing purpose and resources).
Each module is divided into five sequential teaching units. A set of suitable
activities has been developed for each teaching units. There are also two sets
of activities that are suitable for using in any of the teaching units (3.1.
The Basic Activities and 3.2. Energiser Activities). One set of activities (3.7.
Facilitation Activities) supports the module for development of skills for delivering
training in nonviolence and transforming conflict, Facilitating Nonviolence.
It is important for participants to demonstrate the learning Outcomes of the
first module, Transforming Conflict, before undertaking the second module, Facilitating
Nonviolence. Some participants may be undertaking the second module without
doing the first module. Because of this, the first two units of the second module
cover many of the same activities as the first module.
Facilitators are encouraged to add and interfile their own collection of suitable
learning activities.
To help facilitators plan their sessions for either module there are Session
Planning Templates at the end of 2. Facilitation Strategies for both Modules.
