Conflict management training goes online



WATERLOO—For the first time in its history, Conrad Grebel University College’s conflict management certificate program is being offered online. The program, based out of the college’s peace and conflict studies department, offers workshops in a variety of conflict management and mediation practices. Participants are invited to attend individual workshops for professional development or personal interest, or to work toward a certificate in conflict management and mediation or conflict management and congregational leadership. Spring workshops have transitioned to an online format to facilitate learning from home in accordance with COVID-19 physical-distancing policies. The workshops are drawing attention across Canada and have also drawn international participation from the United Kingdom and the United States, and elicited interest as far as Japan. To view a full list of the workshops offered online this spring, and to register, visit uwaterloo.ca/conflict-management.
