Growing through Change and Conflict Foundation

• Dates: Tuesday 8th February 2022 & Wednesday 9th February 2022
• Time: 0930 – 1300 (attendance required at both sessions)
• Venue: Online via Zoom

This Foundation course is intended for anyone wishing to explore conflict transformation from a faith perspective. It may be especially useful for those in leadership in churches (eg elders, deacons, readers, clergy), but is open to all.

Offered from a Christian faith perspective, the course will include the following themes:

1. Learn how to recognise and understand conflict, earlier and with confidence: Why does conflict escalate? When is the right time to intervene or ask for help?


We will share what we mean by conflict, and how it ‘looks’ in our churches; we will also begin to explore our different approaches to conflict, and how we respond.

2. Develop your conflict transformation skills: How can you work through disagreements in groups and meetings? Is it possible to lower the level of conflict? Is there a better way to make group decisions?

Encouraging exploration of real life scenarios, we will introduce skills like: how to work constructively with disagreements in groups and meetings; how to ‘lower’ the level of conflict; making good decisions in groups.

3. Further resources: We will offer ideas and pointers for further training, including information about courses, and local/national resources.
