Dialogue for Peace
An Initiative of Tritons Belong
Dialogue For Peace: Building Compassion and Understanding Across Difference (DFP) is an initiative of Tritons Belong. Dialogue For Peace encompasses several events and programs, including professional development training fellowships that empower student staff, faculty and professional staff to become compassionate listeners and conflict resolution facilitators through Peacemaking and Restorative Justice-based curriculum.
Dialogue For Peace Frameworks
Dialogue for Peace explores Peacemaking and Restorative Justice as a framework to promote dialogue across differences, listening for understanding, conflict resolution and consensus and community building.
Peacemaking is rooted in Indigenous conflict resolution frameworks designed to address harm and restore balance within the community. It is a practice grounded in place-based core values (respect, honesty, trust, humility, sharing, inclusivity, empathy, courage, forgiveness and love). Similarly, Restorative Justice practices and values center healing and accountability through a community lens and are rooted in Indigenous traditions. Both frameworks bring together impacted community members to work through challenging conversations and issues to reach a place of intentional listening, equity of voices, mutual understanding and healing.
