PeaceTalk asks questions that respond to recognised challenges in crisis management interaction (see figure):
1. How can team building, team cohesion and team work be strengthened through interaction in multinational teams (in tactical operation centres and smaller teams)?
2. What features of talk and interaction enhance communication across institutional, cultural and social boundaries (e.g. military–civilian, military–police, military–non-governmental organisation)?
3. What verbal and interactional practices successfully establish situation awareness and initiate action in ad hoc disturbances (e.g. explosions, road blocks) that require quick responses and decisions?
