Conflict is a part of life. Instead of avoiding conflict or allowing it to split communities into polarized sides, how can we transform tension and conflict into creative responses and unity? My guest, Rosa Zubizarreta, author of From Conflict to Creative Collaboration, shares examples of innovative citizen engagement processes that allow people to feel a sense of psychological safety in speaking up and feeling heard. We learn about how Citizen Councils were used in Austria to address complex challenges - shifting from two polarized sides to find creative solutions. Rosa offers suggestions of approaches that anyone can use to help a group hold tension and conflict, including Dynamic Facilitation, Restorative Circles, and Empathy Circles.
