Carla Davila Testimonial

The International Program in Conflict Resolution & Mediation

Carla Davila, Costa Rica

One of the strengths of the Conflict Resolution and Mediation Program was that we were able to talk about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict openly while listening to opposing perspectives. This is especially important when studying conflict as you should understand all sides to get to the root of the issue.  I initially thought there wouldn't be many Arab narratives, but that wasn't the case.  This program provided an excellent opportunity to hear both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian issue. It gave us the necessary tools necessary to apply to any conflict to understand different perspectives.
