Vision
The International Training & Conflict Resolution Center (ITCR) Center began in 2010 when a group of Lebanese activists began meeting to discuss violence and were interested in creating a community-based solution. Today we offer mediation, facilitation and community conferencing services to individuals and groups in conflict zones. Our services are largely free. We also offer training and workshops in mediation, anger management and other conflict resolution processes. While conflict is normal and can be a healthy and creative force for change, failing to deal with it in a constructive manner damages individuals and relationships. Often, individuals avoid open confrontation because they are uncomfortable with it or do not have the skills to handle it. Training in conflict resolution provides these skills and enables people to face and creatively channel conflict rather than allowing hostilities to build toward violence or litigation. It is the mission of ITCR Center to improve the quality of life for individuals in conflict zones to create a more peaceful and productive community by helping people communicate constructively to resolve conflict through education, facilitation, and mediation.
