Facing Conflict
Learn how to identify triggers and
respond to conflict with the Facing Conflict course
The Facing Conflict course will help engagement practitioners understand the factors that contribute to conflict situations, how to identify triggers and how to respond effectively.
Facing Conflict is one of the six elective courses available as part of the IAP2 Australasia Certificate of Engagement.
This course is suitable for engagement practitioners with two or more years’ experience in engagement, or those new to engagement whose role is working in high conflict environments. It is suitable for people who are working one-to-one with people, project teams, or groups, in the engagement process.
The aim of the course is to build on an individual engagement practitioner’s capability to work with conflict in engagement processes, including recognising people’s behaviours, developing personal practitioner skills and using appropriate facilitation tools.
This Facing Conflict course will develop your knowledge of the principles and guidelines associated with facing conflict in engagement and how to work with the core models of engagement and how they can assist you in the practice of engagement. You will learn to:
- Identify sources of conflict.
- Understand and recognise how conflict appears and the factors that contribute to conflict in engagement.
- Recognise the impact conflict has on engagement processes.
- Understand your own role in conflict, manage your own behaviour and build personal resilience.
