Explore the art of navigating the crossroads of conflict.
The better-equipped people are to get the most out of mediation, the better chance they will have at achieving a meaningful and collaborative outcome that addresses not only the ‘what’, but the ‘why’ behind their need for mediation. By being able to fully engage, people will be able to benefit more from the process, thereby having better access to justice.
During the November Christchurch Network Meeting, Kate Haley (Senior Resolution Practitioner at Fair Way) will share a tool and strategies to help address the challenges behind people being ready for mediation. This engaging session is the interactive skills-based workshop presented as part of the AMINZ Conference 2023 programme. The session will introduce a conflict management tool, a handbook called “Know Yourself in Conflict” and how this is used in conjunction with the Emotional Culture Deck.
You’ll discover how to encourage people to understand why they are stuck in conflict and identify the interests that are behind their positions. You'll also get a chance to put theory into practice and explore for yourself how you can use this tool with your clients.
Date: Thursday, 9th November
Time: 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Venue: BreakFree on Cashel, 165 Cashel St
CPD: 1 point
Cost: Free to attend (RSVP required), cash bar available
