CMC Workshop: Interest-Based Problem Solving

The Conflict Management Center presents its third workshop of the Fall 2026 semester: Interest-Based Problem Solving.

Interest-based problem solving is an approach to addressing conflict that seeks to identify and satisfy the underlying interests of all parties. This interactive workshop focuses on the basic steps of interest-based problem solving by equipping you with the tools and skills for identifying interests, reframing problems, and generating and deciding on mutually satisfying solutions.

This training will be led by Averell Manes Ph.D., professor emeritus and faculty affiliate with the Program for the Advancement of Research on Conflict and Collaboration (PARCC).

This workshop is FREE and open to all. Lunch will be provided, but registration is required. 

Please email the CMC director, Kirin Taylor, at ktaylo17@syr.edu if you have any questions!
