She points out that the largest pilgrimage in the world, the Hajj, was canceled earlier this year. "This pandemic needs to be reined in, so both individual choices matter alongside formal policy advice and institutional mechanisms that promote pandemic response," she says.

Conflict Management Center- Basic Training Part 2: Interest-Based Problem Solving

Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar

The workshop will be presented by Tina Nabatchi, Associate Professor in the Department of Public Administration and International Affairs.  

Workshop description: How do you get beyond “this is what I want” and “this is what you want” in a conflict? How do you identify creative solutions to problems? This workshop is a follow-up to the Conflict Styles and Reflective Listening training, though attendance at our first training is not required. IBPS 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 IBPS. You will learn about tools and skills for identifying interests, reframing problems, and generating and deciding on mutually satisfying solutions. Add this 'tool' to your conflict management toolbox in an interactive, participatory workshop format. The workshop is FREE and OPEN to all! Morning coffee and lunch will be provided. 

To register for this workshop email: cmc@maxwell.syr.edu.
