An in-depth look at the core approaches of the Village of Peace model. Learners explore what it means for conflict resolution to be redemptive (focusing on forgiveness, healing, and transformation rather than punishment), holistic (addressing the whole system and root causes, not just isolated incidents), and nature-centric (drawing lessons from natural laws and emphasizing sustainability). Practical examples are given of each approach – for instance, a redemptive approach might involve reconciliation circles or restorative justice programs. By understanding these approaches, participants see how conflicts can be resolved in a way that heals communities and prevents future strife.
