Certificate in Communicating Sustainability - Introductory Conflict Management for Sustainability SUST 2105   Introductory Conflict Management for Sustainability
CREDIT HOURS: 3
Working towards sustainability requires collaboration between multiple individuals, groups, disciplines, and fields, which can lead us to disagreement and conflict. Working with conflict in a constructive way is therefore an important, complex, and ultimately positive component of the pursuit towards sustainability. In this course, we explore tools and models for developing interpersonal conflict management and communication skills so that we might transform our conflicts to opportunities for transformation and greater understanding. Our time is divided between in-person discussions and activity-based classes to allow you to put these skills into practice, and ongoing reflection, activities, and assessments. By the end of this course, you will be able to implement improved conflict communication skills in sustainability contexts as well as in your day-to-day personal life.
