Ayanna discusses the art of listening to understand—not to respond—and how NYPI is helping communities see conflict as a pathway to growth.
Through mediation, conflict coaching, and restorative practices, NYPI equips people with skills to transform conflict, emerging stronger together. Tune in to hear insights on how we can each play a role in promoting peace, even in the face of division.
