How we started
This is an idea which has grown out of our experiences at various camps and campaigns, where we have been involved in conflict resolution working groups.
These include Earth First!, the Camp for Climate Action, and Trident Ploughshares.
It has become clear that this work is needed and useful, and that this need does not end when camps do.
These skills are applicable for roles from police liaison to gate tent to dealing with mental health and drugs issues on sites.
We are trying to live and work cooperatively and to put our principles into our daily lives. We have found conflict resolution and mediation skills really helpful in cooperative living as well as in our activism.
