What dynamics lead to conflicts and harm in our groups? And how do we deal with them?
Come to learn how to make our groups and organizations more sustainable.
In our resistance against oppressive systems we are not only met by external pressures but also by internal ones. Conflicts are part of our life and organizing, yet we often have very little experience and knowledge on how to deal with them. So we quickly find ourselves in emotionally intense conflicts that break up our groups and lead to burnouts. And at the same time, we find little ways on dealing with harm done internally, which either leave us with a repetition of the same harm or push the harm to somewhere outside of us.
In this activist academy session we will dive into conflict resolution via analyzing what dynamics contribute to conflict, and what different ways there are to deal with conflict, from changing our group cultures to mediation techniques. We will do this via exercises, small and big group sharings, and input from the facilitator.
This workshop is based on a master-thesis with the Sociology of Development and Change Group. (no research will be done during the workshop, except our common lifelong research on dealing social interactions)
