Abstract

Conceptually, a culture of peace should be understood not as a conflict-free utopia, but as a culture in which individuals, groups and nations are cooperative and productiverelationships with each other, and where the conflicts that inevitably arise, are handledconstructively. We propose that community mediation centers must adapt to the complexity of conflicts in the world and respond to them with various approaches andmethodologies: advice on conflict resolution, mediation, intervention techniques with large groups, etc.
