The Spiral Model of Conflict Transformation
The Spiral Model of Conflict Transformation views conflicts as evolving processes that can be managed and transformed over time. It emphasizes ongoing dialogue, mutual understanding, and collaboration, recognizing that conflicts are not static but develop through cycles. Along each spiral, parties reflect on past interactions, learn from them, and adjust their approach, gradually moving toward resolution and positive change. This model promotes patience and continuous effort, encouraging participants to build trust, uncover underlying issues, and create sustainable solutions through repeated, constructive engagement.
