SLE Training – LIVE ONLINE COURSE: Conflict Management and Conflict Transformation

Conflict management and conflict transformation are core issues of
development work. Development projects are not only affected by
conflict, but also run the risk of aggravating existing conflicts in a
particular region or even triggering new conflicts.

This training
course gives a sound understanding of the phenomenon of conflict, which
we will explore on the personal and interpersonal level, as well as on
the level of large groups and societies.

Course Objectives

By
the end of the course participants will be familiar with the principles
of conflict management and conflict transformation. They will have
substantially broadened their horizon on the issue of conflict and
applied tools to understand its mechanisms and work with it in a
non-violent way.

• Basic terms and concepts
• Methods of peace and conflict analysis
• Approaches to conflict transformation
• Facilitation and mediation processes and skills
• Analysis and Diagnostics of Conflict Dynamics

Course Programme

There will
be 5 live sessions during the 5-days training course. Each session will
be grouped in two 90 minutes sessions interrupted by a 30 minutes
break.

The preliminary time frame of the sessions is as follows:

9.30 a.m. – 11.00 a.m. CEST and 11.30 a.m. – 3.30 p.m. CEST (Central European Summer Time)

The
focus on the first day will be on conflict, the next two days the focus
will be on coping conflict by yourself and facilitating a conflict by a
third party or a mediator. Day 4 and 5 will deal intensively with
constructive conflict transformation, analysing the conflicting
situation and developing strategies for a change.

What does live online training mean?

Our online trainings are not pre-recorded training videos, webinars for large audiences or self-paced e-learning courses. They are virtual live trainings
delivered by our trainers in real-time, focusing on the interaction of a
small group of remote participants. Just like our face-to-face
trainings, these virtual classrooms aim at tailoring the discussions and
learning experiences to the training needs of the participants. 

Requirements:
to attend our live online trainings, a reliable high-speed internet
connection and a computer or laptop running Windows or iOS are required
(including audio and video). The Humboldt-Universität of Berlin uses the
videoconferencing platform Zoom (subject to change) for virtual
classrooms as well as digital tools. We strongly recommend an external
headset for better sound quality

Target Group

Our participants come from all
around the globe. They include staff from development agencies, national
and international NGOs, national governments, university students and
researchers, as well as professionals from the private sector. A good
command of English is a prerequisite.
