Empathic non-violent communication provides an effective method to get to the root of violence, pain and conflict peacefully. By examining the unmet needs behind what we do or say, empathic non-violent communication helps to reduce hostility, heal pain and strengthen relationships. It teaches us to request what we want instead of what we don't want, and motivates people to respond out of respect rather than fear or obligation.

Strategic arts-based methods can provide people with the opportunity to discover and use different lenses to view conflict issues. Finding similarities where they only saw differences, empowerment where they only found failure, dialogue instead of violence. Participants creatively explore conflicts through social, cultural and community-based concepts, encouraging transformation through strategic arts-based methods including role play, improvisation, writing and other culturally-appropriate artistic expressions.
