“…In addition, the model aspires to bring about solutions that stem from a process of farreaching collaboration. The mediator assists by helping to make the parties recognise the problem, including its opportunities and limitations, and finding the optimal alternative solution (Kuttner, 2006). This study indicates that these guiding principles are unsuitable in times of war.…”

This article identifies the nature of functions that social service workers employed by municipal organisations have to perform during a community disaster and subsequent reorganisation at a time of war. The article also explores to what extent the functions of workers change as a result of the transition from a peacetime routine to a war situation. Using focus groups the study assesses the knowledge of social service workers and ordinary citizens who had direct experience of the second Lebanese war in Israel (2006). Eight major functions needed at a time of disaster are distinguished among various employees. The article discusses the significance of these functions, and the need to make changes in the network of functions at a time of disaster.

“…As a facilitator of a conflict intervention group, I have found Bush and Folger’s theory very useful. As Kuttner (2006: 339) claims, the transformative technique is performed by “mirroring” or summarizing the points made by each party, highlighting the differences and, in the process, giving legitimacy to those differences. This is extremely important in a multicultural encounter where different people and points of view want to be treated equally.…”

This paper aims to explore how Palestinian Arab and Jewish university students in Israel, attending a course on conflict resolution, deal with their stereotypical views of the Other and their prejudices, as well as their complex emotions of fear, hate, anxiety, and love during a period of tension and violence. On the one hand, they have a natural desire for professional partnership and friendship with their fellow students. On the other hand, they are attending this class in a Jewish university, in the heart of the Middle East, where acts of terrorism occur almost daily. This violence changes the power structure and the dynamics of their mutual relationships. Through an analysis of a specific case study the paper aims to shed light on how bridging theory and practice can generate a better understanding of complex situations, enabling reflection and developing signposts to improve coping mechanisms within peace education frameworks in times of terror.
