A wonderful question and one that contains a lot of hope. I say this because the very act of wondering how to communicate to achieve peace is very comforting. I've found that it's helpful to think of a few things to listen effectively.
1. Anything the other person says is simply their experience.
2. Simply listen so you are enriched by hearing someone else's story.
3. Try not to react, even when you disagree with the other person.
4. Listen actively and try not to think of your next opinion, advice, rebuttal etc. just listen.
