We looked for stories about conflicts that were amicably settled. The stories we received came from different areas of life and society and were taking place in different parts of the world. A selection of the stories will be retold at Temporary Pavilion for Permanent Negotiations by a Dutch mediator Chantal van Doesburgh, who also facilitates discussion, which the conflict stories might raise.
