120maybe without even realizing or acknowledging it, we all have our ownstrategies for dealing with c<strong>on</strong>flicts. This leads to the next part of theactivity <strong>on</strong> mediati<strong>on</strong> and transformati<strong>on</strong>.4. Divide the participants into 5 groups and assign each group <strong>on</strong>e of thelisted c<strong>on</strong>flict categories. For example (1) Pers<strong>on</strong>al- family, (2) InternalWork- boss, (3) Internal work- colleagues, (4) External work- d<strong>on</strong>oragency, (5) External work- End beneficiaries.5. Each group is directed to c<strong>on</strong>sider mediati<strong>on</strong> strategies they use in eachcase. In the report-back stage list the strategies menti<strong>on</strong>ed.6. Now pose the questi<strong>on</strong> whether these strategies <strong>on</strong>ly result in atemporary soluti<strong>on</strong> to the c<strong>on</strong>flict or will they address the root causes ofthe source of c<strong>on</strong>flict?7. In the ensuing discussi<strong>on</strong> and wrap-up, highlight the fact thattransformati<strong>on</strong> requires that the c<strong>on</strong>flict must be tackled at its rootcause in order to achieve a lasting resoluti<strong>on</strong>. Any current outcome of ac<strong>on</strong>flict can always be addressed but is likely to be <strong>on</strong> a temporary basis<strong>on</strong>ly providing an immediate soluti<strong>on</strong> rather than a lasting resoluti<strong>on</strong> ifthe root of the problem is not dealt with. This is akin to ‘papering’ overthe c<strong>on</strong>flict that will later reoccur because the c<strong>on</strong>flict has not actuallybeen transformed.
