inclusive way. Learn simple tips to ensure your online
meetings and gatherings are more accessible and
inclusive. This session is being offered twice.

• Conflict resolution skills for community leaders 101 –
free online workshops.
The ability to manage conflict is a core leadership
skill. The best negotiators are able to communicate
their interests and be creative in finding mutually
beneficial solutions and see their counterpart not as
an adversary, but as a collaborator. This is all easier
said than done. But the ‘Getting to Yes’ framework is
the gold standard for preparing for negotiations
before they arise or thinking on your feet when
disagreements catch you by surprise.
Participating in this workshop is a pre-requisite for
the 102 workshop where you will get a chance to
practice and apply these skills further.
Monday 22 February, 6.30pm to 8.30pm
Register here, by Friday 12 February, 5pm.
• Conflict resolution skills for community leaders 102 –
free online workshops.
This 102 session will draw on the theory from the first
session and further apply it in different contexts as
well as give participants an opportunity to practice.
Monday 1 March, 6.30pm to 8.30pm
Register here, by Friday 12 February, 5pm
