ROCKET is delighted to announce the successful completion of the first pilot of our conflict transformation through role-playing Virtual Exchange (VE)! In this VE, students from the Universities of Göttingen, Uppsala, and Groningen came together for asynchronous and synchronous activities. We combined students from courses in Academic Writing, Intercultural Competencies, and Cultivating Transformational Communities, who together explored valuable theories and skills related to meaningfully addressing conflicts.
Topics explored in the VE included conflict styles, nonviolent communication, basic human needs, worldview and perception checking among others. The students were able to work with these concepts in an embodied way through role-playing scenarios involving common workplace and university scenarios, as well as examples from popular cultures especially related to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
