The Controversial Issues Process (Conflict Resolution) Workshop helps individuals and groups move hotly contested issues forward by teaching a set of skills that are essential for effective conflict resolution, listening first to the heartfelt concerns on all sides and then reframing the debate in a way that builds bridges.
The workshop helps participants to:
— Listen to and understand all sides of the dispute
— Find common ground
— Reframe the issue in a way that takes all sides into consideration
— Develop concrete solutions through productive discussion
Situations in which these teachable skills can be used:
— Disagreement
— Conflict
— Heated debate
— Basic misunderstandings
Lunch will be provided. Seating is limited to 50 participants. Please RSVP to Norina Dowd at ext. 7154 or e-mail her at n.dowd@hvcc.edu.
