A resource for conflict transformation processes
This training manual is designed to promote critical thinking towards the enemy images and discourses that are central to the conflict dynamic in the South Caucasus. It is designed for teachers, students, journalists and peacebuilding practitioners, and should equip them with tools to resist the manipulation of public opinion through invented stereotypes.
The module includes mini-lectures, PowerPoint presentations, role-plays, group work, video clips, analysis of textbooks and media reports and a glossary. It also provides recommendations for further reading on five topics: social consensus, societal trauma, heroes and history textbooks, political manipulation and media literacy.
