Conflicts pose challenges to engagements in development communication. When conflicts express a long history of confrontations and they occur in a repetive way, also with violence, as they occur in mining communities, research may be relevant to understand and to change ressources and practices about conflict culture. Dialogue may be a better form of communication in order to study those cultural constructions and to learn about conflict transformation handling it autonomously, nonviolently, creatively with participation of everybody. The author presents in this article some methodologies and findings of her recent research work in Bolivia.

Keywords : social conflicts; mining sectors.
