The CBCR Field Process is a series of
conflict resolution processes that are
linked together to form an experiential
training and interactive dialogue. The
training provides the opportunity to
gather a variety of people and focus
them on process leadership and conflict
resolving activities.
16-20 people are gathered for a three
day training session and on the last
afternoon they lead a two hour “real
time” dialogue with invited guests. Each
of the participants is asked to invite
four people that they know to the
dialogue and to participate in providing
the “pot luck” lunch for the guests.
The participants are paired with
teammates through a random draw and
share the leadership roles during the
dialogue. The topic of the dialogue is
“Establishing a Conflict Resolution
Protocol”. The output of the session is
kept by the training group and forms the
framework for future activities.
Individuals who attend the dialogue are
asked “who else should be here” and also
if they would wish to attend a three day
training session themselves.
Participants for future sessions are
drawn from these lists. This cycle is
repeated three times.
The process is opened up in the third
cycle to include participants from other
geographic or interest areas. This
opening encourages the sharing of ideas
and outlooks. It also helps to
demonstrate the process to a wider
audience.
The process cycle is completed with a
special two-day interactive session
which is open to all who have
participated in either the training or
the dialogues.
A two-week Process Leadership Training
Program can also be organized. It
prepares individuals to lead field
processes as well as develop additional
conflict resolution skills. During this
program, "real time" interactions are
arranged for a day long series of
interactions on the “Protocol and
implementation of community action
plans". |
