Last Sunday during the Open Day in the HUB, Marthe Hiev and Steffie gave a workshop on Safe Spaces. As a part of our peacebuilding efforts with young Palestinians and Israelis, access to safe spaces is vital for conflict resolution. Safe spaces ensure dignity, respect, safety, inclusion, and positive self-worth – all fundamentally important to have open, challenging conversations.
During the workshop, we took to take participants along in the fundamentals of creating a ‘safe space’. They created a safe space themselves by agreeing on shared ‘safe space principles’ and practiced one of the fundamental principles: listening with attention.
