An EU-funded initiative sought was to promote reconciliation in diverse contexts of intergroup and interpersonal conflicts.
Reconciliation constitutes the process of restoring harmonious relations to heal emotional and psychological wounds. In an attempt to identify ways to eradicate emotional barriers to harmonious relations between victims and perpetrators, the needs-based model of reconciliation (NBMR) was developed. With this model, victims are able to regain their sense of agency and perpetrators have an opportunity to restore their moral identity.
