About the Course

Conflict is a healthy part of relationships, teams and community. How do we make it an opportunity?

This experiential nine-hour course builds on participants' existing wisdom to introduce language, concepts and skills of healthy conflict resolution and restorative practices. The course provides a foundation for facilitating with Advoz's programs in mediation and restorative practices. Using the interactive capabilities of Zoom video-conferencing, expect to be actively engaged in learning activities and to practice restorative practices applicable to your work and life and to prepare you for Advoz's intermediate courses.
