Advanced Conflict Resolution Course

Conflict is an inevitable part of our lives but how we view it and how we deal with it can turn it from being an unpleasant experience into one where we learn and grow. This course will help you to understand how conflict can be positive and will introduce you to tools and techniques that will assist you to effectively deal with conflict situations.

This course offers students the opportunity to enhance their understanding of the theory and practice of conflict resolution.

The objective is to expand their understanding beyond the basic elements learned in Core I and Core II. Students will develop an appreciation of the complexities of dispute resolution processes in practice. They will acquire skills with which to respond to more challenging and difficult problems. Learning activities will include literature review, small and large group discussions, role-plays, and reflective practice.
