ONLINE SLE TRAINING Conflict Management and Conflict Transformation

Conflict management and conflict transformation are core issues of development work. 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.

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.

  • Methods of peace and conflict analysis
  • Approaches to conflict transformation
  • Facilitation and mediation processes and skills

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. - 1.00 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.


Course Methods

The virtual classroom sessions with the trainer and the fellow participants via Zoom are complemented by group exercises, assignments as well as time for self-study and reflection.

 

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 for virtual classrooms as well as digital tools such as Moodle. 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.
