Abstract
“DRACON is an interdisciplinary and comparative action research project aimed at improving conflict handling among adolescent school children by using the medium of educational drama” (DRACON International, 2005 rev. 2007, p. 13). DRACON was initiated in 1994 by a Swedish industrial consultant, Mr. J. Andersson, with the idea of joining the two academic and practical fields of drama and conflict resolution. Collaboration with Malaysia began in May 1994 at a meeting in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, involving Swedish conflict researchers and Malaysian drama specialists.
