Neil helps communities in conflict to find ways to reduce violence, increase justice, solve real life problems and strengthen human relationships. He is an Independent Community Mediator, an Associate with the Relationships Project, and a Professor in Practice with the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience, University of Durham, UK, who specialises in conflict transformation. He works to find ways that place communities at the heart of our thinking and doing, and to explore and demonstrate how the principles and practices of conflict transformation can be beneficial to disaster prevention, response and recovery. Neil and Christine Frazer will be presenting on “Safety-nets and Trampolines. Weaving the threads of connection and collaboration into a stronger social fabric” in a Pecha-Kucha Session during the IVCO 2024 Conference.
