The conflict as an opportunity to learn to coexist Manipulating a conflict implies its identification in an analytical and reflective way. Cyclic phases can be observed within conflicts, over which there can be an intervention that regulates them constructively (Cascón and Papadimitriou). Conflicts are a chance for change and enrichment, and not necessarily a situation to erradicate (Ortega y del Rey).
