Abstract

When working with others, conflict can always emerge. Awareness of one’s own assumptions and ‘culture’ is an essential part to avoiding any such conflict becoming potentially harmful and destructive. This mini workshop will introduce participants to some key competencies of self-awareness when working in a conflict situation. It will also introduce participants interested in workshop delivery into experiential modalities often used with youth and adults in the peace education sphere.

By its shear nature, the workshop is experiential and participants should come prepared to get involved. Such participation will not, however, be forced, but encouraged. The workshop will only be short and therefore only introduce a couple reflexive activities, but further interest can also be discussed.
