About Course

Description:

Conflict is a constant feature of societies worldwide. Whilst striving for peace is an important goal, conflict, when handled well, improves relationships and can have a positive effect on organisations, communities and societies. In societies undergoing political and social transformation, conflict happens in a range of institutions such as schools, businesses, places of worship and health and welfare departments. People working in these institutions are often faced with high levels of conflict and want to develop their skills to manage it more effectively. In this Short Learning Programme, participants will learn how to analyse conflict to understand its origins, drivers and context.

Admission Requirements:

The minimum requirement is a secondary school completion or a post-school diploma / degree. Participants will need to submit a certified copy of their latest educational certificate and a motivation letter outlining why they feel the course will be of value to themselves, their work and/or their communities.

Course Curriculum

Participants will learn to develop strategies for responding to conflict in ways that can positively transform their relationships, organisations and communities. The SLP includes case studies and practical examples from many parts of the world.
