Conflict: a Source for Social Change
CCM is a Norwegian –based NGO that works
with conflict management and peacebuilding. We believe that conflict
is natural and necessary for social change. Our vision is a society
in which the positive functions of conflict are maintained and it’s
negative tendencies managed effectively and democratically.
All our workshops are interactive and based on
inclusive action learning where the participants contributes actively
with their own experiences and background through role-plays, simulations
and group exercises. In this way there is space for people with different
levels of experience in all of our workshops.
