    This needs to be rolled out across the board in schools if we want to change the ethos of violence and breeding a new generation.

Why Attend?

Conflict Dynamics has extensive experience training conflict management skills in schools and universities. Educational institutions have unique challenges in relation to conflict. The relationships between educators, learners, parents, administrative staff and representative bodies can be complex and fraught with a myriad of tensions, including diversity and inclusion related issues. Equipping these stakeholders with conflict management skills will prevent conflict from flaring into disputes, and strengthen interactions in staff, student and employee forums and in the management of complaints, grievances and discipline.
