This workshop provides 3 days of learning the practical theory to facilitate group conferences,
as part of a system of restorative practices and relationship management. The workshop is
relevant for facilitators, managers, policy-makers, and evaluators. Workshop participants will:

  • examine techniques of dispute-handling and conflict management to address challenging situations in justice, health and education, and in families, workplaces, residential- &/or other communities;
  • distinguish several formats of the group conference process for addressing complex issues &/or promoting conflict resilience;
  • practise facilitation techniques that apply across a wide range of situations;
  • identify situations that can be addressed effectively using these processes & techniques;
  • understand how the techniques apply to relationship management more broadly.
