Creative Conflict Resolution

I use this book more than any others when it comes to finding conflict resolution activities for young adults. The authors use the metaphor of fire growing from a spark to begin thinking about how conflicts begin, and how they can be used to fuel the creative process, rather than turning into fights. Lots of great ideas for games and circle activities, and a strong emphasis on social justice, multi-cultural appreciation (as opposed to mere tolerance) and community action. The activities will help anyone who works with teens and young adults develop a strong, peer-led conflict resolution program.
