ABSTRACT
The Sandwich model is designed to cope with conflictual situations in disturbed communities. It has been applied to both professionals and laymen in conflicts. The model combines the relative security of small groups with the social character of large groups. Using the opportunities large groups can offer as the setting which offers the maximum face-to-face encounter possible participants can establish a unique social dialogue. Such powerful verbal and especially non-verbal experience exposes the participants to the views of others, as well as enables the ability to voice one's own view. The Large Group (LG) interaction, sandwiched between two Small Group (SG) sessions may have a unique potential to transform hate into co-existence and stop violence. The magic of seeing and feeling each other together with the development of a dialogue seems especially important after the failure of social media to cope with conflict. Selfless attitudes, together with societal and authoritarian dominance, can be elaborated.
