The Third Side

An important approach contributing to peace, conflict and social tensions:

What is the Third Side?

What is the Third Side?

The Third Side is a way of looking at the conflicts around us not just from one side or the other but from the larger perspective of the surrounding community.

Taking the Third Side means
Seeking to understand both sides of the conflict
Encouraging a process of cooperative negotiation
Supporting a wise solution - one that fairly meets the essential needs of both sides and the community

You can have natural sympathies for one side or the other and still choose to take the Third Side.

Who are the Thirdsiders?

Any of us can take the Third Side anytime
at home, at work, in the community,

and in the world.



The Third Side is made up of both insiders, such as friends, family, and even the parties themselves, who are in turn actively supported by outsiders, such as neighbors, neutrals, and bystanders.

Re: The Third Side

Thankyou Albert for sharing the wonderful perspective of the
Third Side.
This is what we need to introduce to the World -not the other side-
but the third side !!!!

Re: The Third Side

I have always been on the third side (maybe sometimes just on the outside). I think I have often despaired more about the behaviour of my country than of foreign despotic regimes, because I expect more from my country and am so often disappointed by it.
It seems to me that many countries have good reason to hate Britain, and sometimes happily they don't.
