Conflict Resolution Day

Conflict Resolution Day

Conflict Resolution Day is a worldwide event dedicated to promoting peaceful ways to resolve conflicts. Wars are still happening all over the world, but we hope that, as a society, we are moving towards communication and mediation as a better way to deal with problems. Conflict Resolution Day is celebrated on the third Thursday of October as a reminder to resolve our conflicts and work towards a more peaceful world. 

This holiday is a great opportunity for governments to have peace talks with nations they may not agree with. It is also a time to teach children about conflict resolution, so the next generation will have a better handle on keeping the peace.

Ways to Celebrate Conflict Resolution Day

Conflict Resolution Day is not just for large governments and world leaders. It is a day for everyone to be aware of conflicts in their own lives and small groups and to work to resolve them. It is a day to talk to people at work, school or home and work through any current conflicts, large or small. It is a day to recognize that small conflicts can become large if they are not addressed.
