Q: How can Jah and Kay help you as a peace-builder?

A: In my perspective, it really has to do with how the way one approaches another, the communication, collaboration and understanding. As a peace-builder, you have to consider other people’s feelings and backgrounds. Thus, the way one approaches can be important as well. We have to be careful in a way both sides do not take it the wrong way. Although I find that talking with others challenging, I have definitely improved in areas such as communication and participation.

This event can be also applied to the outside world where conflict is a constant issue in many countries either in their own countries or with other countries. If there is a miscommunication between the two parties, conflict can occur. Thus, you also need to consider the other perspective in any situation and try to understand each other. I believe that with the skills I have learnt from today, I wish to apply that knowledge in the future in areas that needed.
