Final Report: “Responsible Youth: Engaging Young People and Community Members in Conflict Transformation & Social Change”

The participants gained enhanced skills and knowledge as they identified types of conflict and models for managing conflicts, mapped real-life case studies, and engaged in role plays that enhanced their mediation and conflict management skills.
