In part six, Work Counsellor, Mediator, Master of Arts (Education), and Master of Social Sciences Miriam Attias discusses conflict situations, hate speech, and polarisation. There are plenty of situations in anti-racist work that are prone to conflicts. Any actions based on hate pose a direct threat to a person’s identity and existence, because the person is targeted simply because they belong to a certain group. In turn, polarisation produces and reinforces group identities. According to Attias, the two most important tools in any conflict situation are an open and curious attitude and impartiality. Moreover, the best way to support and help someone is to listen and take both parties seriously. Sometimes radical listening is the best thing you can do or give to another person.
