  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Action Track: Healing and Renewal Engage In Active Listening
    What was it like to actively listen to someone? How did both people and the conversation(s) benefit from active listening?

    Feryel ayachi's avatar
    Feryel ayachi 10/21/2020 12:51 AM
    Active listening is a respectful and positive way, to listen attentively while someone else speaks, to understand his needs.
    Benefits are multiple: It allows you to understand the point of view of another person and respond with empathy and it validates the speaker and makes them want to speak longer.

      It's a multidirectional justice, many feel that the process of justice deepens societal wounds and conflicts rather than contributing to healing or peace, Some advocate the use of restorative approaches such as circles as a way to work through, resolve, and transform conflicts in general.

      Many feel that the process of justice deepens societal wounds and conflicts rather than contributing to healing or peace. it's about a multidirectional dialogue about justice, moreover, some advocate the use of restorative approaches such as circles as a way to work through, resolve and transform conflicts in general.
