Creating Peace by Practicing Peace

These workshops are directed toward Interact, RYLA, and Youth Exchange students, Rotaract, and Rotary members who want to increase understanding about and learn basic skills regarding conflict prevention and resolution.

During this session, participants will explore conflict in their work or school environments while considering the impact that unclear norms, rules, and procedures have and how setting the stage for getting our basic needs met will help reduce conflict. Participants will learn about difference conflict, styles and complete a conflict assessment. The role of emotions in conflict, particularly anger, will be reviewed and participants will have an opportunity to practice utilizing sample communication tools for more enhanced communication These skills can be applied in our daily lives in our homes and broader communities.
