A methodological proposal for the resolution of socio-ecological conflicts and the building of territorial governance.
Objectives of the protocol:
To use the Eudemon experience in the Alt Penedès as a seed to facilitate the germination of consensual initiatives throughout the territory.
To provide socio-political tools and methodological guidance to manage the social conflict associated with current eco-social challenges.
To serve as a document of inspiration and reflection in the field of alternative conflict resolution and as a means of communication to publicise a specific intervention.
Main phases of the protocol
The procedure is schematized in such a way as to show the different steps and actions that can be followed and the questions that guide them. It also highlights those mechanisms and strategies that are most easily replicable. And examples from the case of Alt Penedès are given to better illustrate each stage:
Establishing the starting point and foresight
It is considered fundamental:
-
Clarifying the purpose of the intervention and the attitude and vision. A specific theoretical-practical approach and framework for action is proposed.
-
Understanding the situation to be dealt with and assessing the initial potential for resolution.
Action strategy
It is proposed to define the intervention on the basis of the following principles:
-
Adaptive co-creation, in which the initiative is adjusted to the reality of each conflict.
-
Incorporation of the challenges presented by the conflict.
-
Encouragement of conditions conducive to resolution.
-
Slow, close and catalytic communication is adopted.
Evaluation and learning
It is proposed to review the process to evaluate the results obtained and reflect on how it has been deployed. Take into account:
-
The scope and quality of the social dialogue carried out.
-
The achievement of territorial consensus and/or agreements on the conflict.
-
The degree of impact of the results of the initiative in the public and community sphere.
-
The capacity to generate community and/or articulation of governance networks.
