CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Picture
Conflict resolution is a combination of tools for improving how we communicate with one another when there are misunderstandings and disagreements.  It provides a forum for learning how to negotiate and opportunity to learn new skills for mending the discourse that leads to conflict. Through the lens of social justice, this workshop will explore the role played by Emotional Literacy in creating collaborative work places, organizations and relationships.  Students will learn to identify and work with strong feelings, clear the air, recognize the impact of internalized oppression, analyze core problems, negotiate difference and make plans for implementing agreed-upon changes.  Skills offered are intended to be helpful to working and organizing in multicultural environments and are also applicable to personal relationships.

Instructors Carol Blecker and Ellen Morrison are certified Emotional Literacy trainers, and licensed social workers with many years of experience working in community organizations and will be joined by colleagues from other fields when teaching this workshop.
