Mission & Goals
Conciliation Resources was founded 30 years ago on the idea that people living in areas of violent conflict should be at the heart of its resolution. We support processes of dialogue, mediation and negotiation – peacemaking – and efforts to transform the long-term drivers of conflict – peacebuilding – that bring benefit to all in society. We pay attention to the affective aspects of peacebuilding – crafting dialogue processes that allow relationships of trust and cooperation to grow, and working on the legacies of conflict, including the psychosocial impact of violence. This founding idea underpins our approach to partnership. Our partnerships in the places where we work – with individuals, civil society organisations, networks, and government and intergovernmental bodies – are usually long-term, built collaboratively over the years on shared peacebuilding objectives, with or without a financial relationship to underpin them.
