Conflict Resolution Series

Tutor: Rita Choy

Conflict and differences are a part of life. Dealing with conflict can be confronting, stressful and disruptive to people and those around them. Through interactive workshops, students are able to share their individual experience,  discuss and explore practical strategies to resolve differences in a safe environment.

This course offers a basic understanding of what conflict is and how it arises. Each term focuses on specific skills that are essential to resolving conflict constructively, resulting in sustainable outcomes. The aim is helping you to build a toolbox with which you have the confidence to deal with different situations and issues.

The focus of term three this year is using critical thinking as a tool to find sustainable solutions to conflicts or differences. This tool enables people to identify presenting and underlying issues, examine points of differences that cause conflict, explore and evaluate potential solutions to arrive at an informed decision.
