Conflict Transformation Techniques

This online training on conflict transformation will provide an overview of tools and skills useful when dealing with conflict while introducing scenario practices addressing conflict situations that we find in our work and our lives. This training includes modules introducing nonviolent communication techniques, empathetic listening skills, self-regulating tools, and strategies for negotiating under the influence of power. By using a simple framework and foundational tools, most conflicting situations can be resolved if the parties involved are invested in a resolution. Conflict can then be considered an opportunity for healing and growth of not only the affected relationship but also the individuals involve and the impacted systems, strengthening the bonds between and within them, expanding understanding and perspective, and encouraging us to grow stronger, together.

This is an interactive and beginner’s workshop designed for those that may have no to little prior studies of any conflict transformation techniques. This workshop will expose participants to basic strategies and skills that are used in the types of conflicts that might arise in your personal life as well as in other settings. You may want to try out new skills with family members, co-workers, and neighbors.
