Mountain Areas Conflict Management Center-MACMC

Peace , Coexistence, Prosperity...  



Our Mission

To foster constructive responses to conflict.

Vision

We envision a future in which MACMC is the lead resource for nurturing constructive responses to the conflicts that inevitably occur in our communities. As a result of our work, the Mountain Areas of Northern Pakistan we serve are places where individuals value themselves, value others, and value relationships.

Specifically, we envision communities where:

• People accept the inevitability of conflict and understand what it does to human interactions
• People are willing to ask for help when conflict makes decision-making difficult
• People are able to encourage others who are involved in conflict to seek help
• Everyone knows someone with the knowledge and skills to help others who are involved in conflict
• All are encouraged to explore the creative tension between autonomy and connection with others

Tasks

CDRC accomplishes its mission by:

Ø Educating people about conflict

Ø Teaching people to respond constructively to their own conflicts

Ø Training people to help others who are involved in conflict

Ø Facilitating processes that enable each person to make the best choices he or she is capable of making

Ø Facilitating processes that enable each person to understand another's perspective and respect that person's choices

Ø Using the mediation process and mediation skills to facilitate communication between individuals and groups

Ø Partnering with organizations in the community to develop policies and programs that foster constructive responses to conflict

Ø Modeling an organization that welcomes differences, cares for the people who work with it, and deals with its own conflicts in constructive ways.
