Services


96112-1490615-thumbnail.jpgWe design & support micro interventions aimed at peace building in countries affected by divided communities.  All of our services relate to helping alleviate the negative effects of conflict, especially armed conflict, racism & domestic violence.  Our work is influenced by educationalists & psychologists such as Carl Rogers and Viktor Frankl.  Amongst those who work with us are victims of armed conflict in Northern Ireland & Kosova ; government agencies, schools and universities; former prisoners, and community groups.  Much of what we do centres around the building of emotional intelligence. In 2007 we worked with around two thousand people in Ireland, the UK, Colombia & Kosovo.  We're always willing to offer FREE advice via email.  To be kept informed of what we do, subscribe to our monthly newsletter or email info@humanisingconflict.com 

Evaluation with Emotional Meaning

The Humanising Conflict Group have developed a new form of evaluation suitable for small and medium sized government funded peace & community work. Based on collaborative action research methodologies, the evaluations are designed to give immediate meaning and learning to all stakeholders in the evaluation process.  The unique form of collaborative evaluation is based on strict academic rigour and analysis, and works along similar lines to business mentoring and life coaching.  The aim of this new evaluation process is to help employees and managers create immediate positive change from day one.  The evaluations build on the expertise of the group or businesses being evaluated.

The Humanising Conflict group are currently evaluating projects and businesses in Ireland, the UK and the Republic of Kosova. For further details, email research@humanisingconflict.com 
Educational programme design

People involved in The Humanising Conflict Group have experience in deigning educational programmes & workshops aimed at those who have suffered from the effects of armed conflict, racism & domestic violence.  Using our personal experiences of conflict and academia, we aim to bring real life experiences into academically robust educational design.  Clients include educational providers, universities & community groups.  Over the last 12 months courses designed by the Humanising Conflict Group have been used in every county in Northern Ireland and in every Irish border county.

 

Educational Research & Evaluation
With three of the group having PhDs, we can guarantee the highest academic standards of research & evaluation.  Specialist areas include educational programmes relating to armed conflict, domestic violence, trauma & interculturalism.  We are currently advising individual university students on research methods for primary degrees and PhDs.

Facilitation
Facilitators available with expertise in post conflict peace building; domestic violence; interculturalism & trauma recovery.

Funding & Support
We're currently involved in funding educational projects related to peace building, development & intercultural education in both parts of Ireland, the UK, and Kosovo/Kosova.  In addition, we're hoping to fund a small educational programme in Colombia within the next 12 months.  In addition, we offer confidential advice & support on a regular basis, so feel free to get in touch if you think we can help.

Life coaching
We specialise in two areas: individuals traumatised by armed conflict, and micro businesses working in the field of conflict resolution, community education and psycho-social therapies.  A range of methods are used including business mentoring, Human Givens therapy, Existential Analysis & Neuro Linguistic Programming.  Over the last few months, two people have told us that our life coaching and related educational work with people suffering from historic trauma has actually saved their lives.

Business Mentoring & Mediation
Some of our members are highly experienced in  business mentoring, especially with community based business.  We also have contacts with accredited political and business mediators.
