Search for Common Ground is the NGO behind The Radio for Peacebuilding, Africa project:
Search for Common Ground (SFCG) is an NGO working in the field of conflict transformation. Among other activities, SFCG creates innovative television, radio, and Internet programming for the reduction or prevention of conflict.
SFCG has a number of Training Resources, for example: Common Ground Media Training | Conversation About Conflict | Cooperative Problem Solving
Common Ground Media Training, for example, aims to:
encourage the exploration of possible areas of agreement between opposing sides in a discussion, try actively to subvert prejudices and stereotyping, to promote the dignity of all sides, and to encourage a positive vision. This approach works well for sensitive political issues, as it does in situations of violent armed conflict.
