The PACS Center training takes the approach that conflict can be a catalyst for social change and places primary emphasis on the question of social justice. The training includes an exploration of how identity and power imbalances affect the development and resolution of conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n Conflict is a natural part of every relationship that can be either a destructive force or a stimulus for creating constructive change. We can learn how to respond in ways that maximize conflict\u2019s potential for positive change.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n Peace & Conflict Studies workshops will cover the core skills of conflict transformation. Participants will learn and practice skills related to understanding the roots of conflict, identifying their own and others\u2019 emotions, interests, and positions, and facilitating collaborative problem-solving.<\/span><\/p>\n This skills training currently takes the form of a Conflict Transformation Academy<\/strong> that takes place in two parts: Level I<\/strong> and Level II<\/strong>. Those who have completed Level I will be invited to participate in Level II.<\/p>\n \u201cI appreciated learning strategies to use in my classes and to teach my students about how to approach conflict, examine underlying interests, and understand power dynamics in any conflict situation. I will remember that conflict is natural and can be an opportunity for transformation rather than a source of stress and hostility.\u201d
