Training 

Each CMC workshop provides theory-based content and practice-proven skills, providing participants with both a foundation and a springboard for building his or her personal and professional capacities in conflict transformation and group facilitation. CMC training activities are organized around five basic training aspects:

• conflict styles and reflective listening
• interest-based problem-solving
• assertion
• facilitation
• cross-cultural communication

These workshops are independent of each other so participants may attend those desired.  However, two workshops serve as building blocks and a foundation for others:  reflective listening and interest-based problem solving.  Other CMC workshops often build upon these two.

Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening
