The Ins and Outs of Conflict Help in Central America

The Ins and Outs of Conflict Help in Central America

A diagram from Preparing for Peace: Conflict Transformation Across Cultures that depicts a model of navigating conflict grounded in the linguistic and cultural context of Central America. The model begins with getting in (entrarle) which is facilitated through trusting relationships (confianza). Next is a process of figuring out where the relationships and conflicts stand (ubicarse and platicar) to then be able to manage to arrange (arreglar). This helps to determine a way out (salir) of the conflict.
