People’s School of Conflict
Partner Profile
What is it?
People’s School of Conflict is a group of neighbors helping neighbors solve problems without the police. We are committed to a policeless future and we know that that means that we will have to solve problems ourselves. It is not enough to simply not call the police, we must also be prepared to help in situations of crisis and conflict.
Currently we’re building this future through:
Knowledge Shares
These sessions are designed to harvest expertise based on previous experiences from participants, to reframe and deepen their knowledge of strategies for navigating conflict and crisis, as well as boost confidence in individual’s abilities to actively and intentionally practice de-escalation.
Bystander Intervention Sessions
These sessions utilize tools from Theatre of the Oppressed to brainstorm solutions to escalated situations, and to train our bodies to instinctively respond with action, so that we are more likely to intervene in moments of crisis or conflict.
Facilitation Trainings
These sessions help neighbors build facilitation skills in order to facilitate Knowledge Shares and Bystander Intervention Sessions. We have designed and run the following facilitation training units:
Active Listening
Asking Questions
Silence
Group Work
Activities/Body Work
Self-Care and Reflection
Making a Plan
Group Norms
