Transform Conflict
Foundations

This series of transformative workshops is for busy professionals whose work is hampered by conflict – and want the skills to make things better.

We’ve designed a four-week course that blends structured online learning – short exercises completed in your own time – and a series of four two-hour workshops. Using a real and current conflict that matters to you as your 'raw material', you can learn and start to practise with confidence the basic skills of conflict transformation and creative conversation.

The workshops are delivered externally – you join with others from different organisations – or they can be delivered in-house to selected groups of colleagues who you think will benefit from the programme.

Process

4 x 2-hour group sessions (one per week x 4 weeks)
Practical exercises, paired and group discussion
Accessible via smartphone, desktop or laptop
