This presentation explores how digital communication tools can contribute to dialogue and deeper understanding. It was presented at the Religion Communicators Congress 2010 in Chicago, USA.
~~~~~~~~~~
At all levels – from interpersonal and organizational, to community, country and world – human relationships experience conflict and need an infusion of deeper understanding and peace.
This workshop will explore ways that digital communication tools can contribute to peace building by enhancing our ability to empathize with each other more deeply, map conflict areas, or refocus dialogues around facts. Concrete case studies will ground this exploration in modern technical tools that can contribute to peace building, such as multimedia storytelling, Ushahidi conflict mapping software, and Web 2.0 tools.
