About the Teaching Paper
This Teaching Paper introduces a glossary of essential terms for conflict resolution and peacebuilding, bridging theory and practice for non-profit and community contexts. It defines key concepts such as active listening, cultural competence, restorative justice, and conflict mapping, while linking each to real-world applications. By offering conceptual clarity alongside practical notes, the glossary strengthens dialogue, training, and evaluation in intercultural and resource-limited settings. A case study from Colombia illustrates how terms like stakeholder analysis, dialogue facilitation, and sustainability indicators can transform conflict into shared opportunities for development.
