Pax Christi Podcast – Equipping Yourself to Deal with Conflict. (Ages 15+)

JPIC has collaborated with Pax Christi to offer a Peacemakers podcast for the Youth from 15 to 25 years old, named Equipping Yourself to Deal with Conflict.

This podcast presents an educational discussion on understanding, preventing, and managing interpersonal conflict. It defines conflict as a sustained and intentional opposition involving feelings, opinions, or interests, distinguishing it from ordinary disagreement, quarrels, and disputes. The discussion identifies four dimensions of conflict—inner, interpersonal, societal, and international—and focuses primarily on interpersonal relationships. It introduces six major types of conflict: emotional, cognitive, interest-based, power-related, personality-based, and value-based conflicts. Central to the discussion are practical approaches for responding to conflict, including assertiveness, non-violent communication, emotional awareness, and active listening.
