Facilitating Conciliation: Beyond Conflict Resolution

Description: Our society is crying out for alternatives to the adversarial approach to dealing with disputes. The possibility of conciliation exists in every situation. The people involved can make wise, responsible choices and can work together to develop solutions for common problems. This course is designed to equip the facilitator with the perspective and tools to bring a group through conflict to a place of peace. The course uses ToP® methods to reconcile differences.

The Phases of Conciliation are:

  1. Initiating the Dialogue
  2. Clarifying the Situation
  3. Expressing the Experience
  4. Articulating the Substantial Issues
  5. Generating Options
  6. Creating Resolution
  7. Planning for Implementation

The course addresses these phases in the four main modules:

  1. The Nature of Conflict
  2. The Phases of Conciliation
  3. Tools for Conciliation
  4. Designing Conciliation Processes
