Do you want to learn how to use conflict as a tool for transforming relationships and social dynamics? Candler School of Theology professors in ethics and conflict transformation guide you through the process of evaluating and engaging conflict in a theological framework.
The lessons in this track will equip you with practical skills such as:
-
Identifying and broadening your own conflict approach
-
Facilitating circle meetings, conversations, and other community events
-
Differentiating between productive and unproductive conflict
-
Learning a variety of spiritual practices to sustain conflict work
-
Discovering the importance of self-care as a conflict worker
The material in each course is separated into modules (a module is one week’s worth of learning activities). Each module consists of asynchronous learning activities, including short video lectures, readings, and reflection questions.
While you will have independent work to do during the week, you will also journey through the program with a small cohort of 6-15 people. You will be able to interact with them and a trained facilitator throughout the program.
