Face-to-face encounters are well embedded in reconciliation processes and are meant to break down stereotypes and misconceptions and to "re-humanize the Other", facilitating a transformation that would have a "healing" effect for entire communities. Based on "face-to-face encounters" in Israel/Palestine and in the Western Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia–Herzegovina and Croatia), I demonstrate that what happens is quite the opposite. Instead of blurring ethnic/religious identities, these structured encounters ossify historical narratives that serve to ethnically homogenise, polarise and essentialize the participants' understanding of selfhood, stratifying them according to their ethnic belonging. As a result, these encounters result in enforcing ethnic identities
