6-WEEK ONLINE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING WORKSHOP SERIES

Wednesdays | Sept 18, 25 & Oct. 2, 9, 16, 23

3:00-4:30pm Central Europe time / 9:00-10:30am USA Eastern

Through interactive workshops and collective learning, this 6-week online series will equip you with lenses and skills for peacebuilding and conflict transformation, both to reapply in your interpersonal relationships and the wider community. These workshops are not lecture-based; instead, they build understanding and skills through group interaction and based on the challenges and collective wisdom that every participant brings with them into the group.

This “Tackling Conflict” workshop series is perfect for everyday people, religious or not, and community leaders (including pastors or other religious leaders) who are eager to learn peacebuilding paradigms and conflict transformation skills that can be easily applied in your relationships and communities. This workshop series is intended as a launching pad to help you personally begin to live as a peacebuilder, and to give you resources and support to invite friends, family, and colleagues along on the journey.

Over six weeks, we’ll explore the following themes:

– Identity & Conflict

– Destructive & Constructive Conflict

– What is Peace & How Do We Get There?

– Group Dynamics & Empathy

– Breaking Cycles of Harm

– Getting to “Win-Win” Solutions

Co-facilitators Philip Kakungulu and Bryan Carey have led these workshops in person many times, and they are some of their favorite things to do as part of their peacebuilding work. This online series is their first attempt to run these in a virtual setting and adapt the in-person interactions to a Zoom environment.
