The participants had the opportunity to share their personal and professional experience with violence, to explore the deeper foundations of violent reactions, how we learned to observe others and how much we could slander in estimates, how to overcome our own prejudices, resolve a conflict in an optimally constructive manner and how to use creativity to resolve conflicts. They have also realized that they too can act unintentionaly aggressively if put in a certain situation.
