CONFLICTO…..

What is conflict?
Why does it happen?
Why is it necessary?

These are just a few of the questions we looked at and talked about today during our conflict workshop with the FH Peru staff.

We looked at different ways of dealing with conflict and had some demonstrations of those. We had a demonstration of the ‘turtle, teddy bear, shark, fox, and owl and the triangler’.

We then looked at some Biblical principles around conflict.

I think all of us have come away with some new tools and ideas on how to deal with conflict in all types of relationships – friends, family, colleagues, spouses etc.

I know the ‘shark’ in me has some things to work on!

Conflict makes us grow as we work together with others to resolve it. One of the key things from the day was that we don’t ‘forgive and forget’ but we add reconciliation to that. That is very powerful and key in building broken relationships.

The FH staff also discussed principles around dealing with conflict and behaviours around conflict that as an office they would like to adopt to deal with things conflict that arise.
