LIVING CONFLICT: EXPERIENCES OF AN ECOLOGICAL LABORATORY

 

The objective of the intervention is to expose the theoretical assumptions and examples of an ongoing project entitled “Living Conflict”, which is being promoted by Casa della Resistenza Association of Verbania in collaboration with corridoio.zero association of Milan.

The project is aimed at young people coming from conflictual situations and offers an opportunity for dialogue. Participants in the present project include young Israelis and Palestinians as well as youngsters from Serbia and Kosovo.

Through a series of seminars, participants are asked to consider their own territory and history and transform their contrasting elements into potential roots shared in a common world. The fundamental action of ‘living’ is placed at the center of the debate: ‘living’ means building a world made up of present and past relationships among human beings and their environment. (With reference to Hannah Arendt and Gregory Bateson).
