The Creation of Appropriate Models

Elicitive/Catalyst: The Creation of Appropriate Models

A figure from the book Preparing for Peace: Conflict Transformation Across Cultures that provides a visual for the process of developing appropriate models of conflict transformation in the context of a training. Centered in an elicitive approach, this process centers the implicit knowledge of participants, grounded in their unique culture and language. The trainer’s role is as a catalyst, supporting alongside the creation and experimentation of an appropriate model for conflict transformation for a given linguistic and cultural context.
