As long as there are people there will be disagreement and conflict, and not every dissent needs to be addressed and settled immediately. However, longer-lasting, underlying tensions can grow to real crises that deplete our power and energy. During the seminar participants learn to recognize conflicts, to become active, to address and clarify situations and to solve problems.


In a small group, students can share their individual conflict situations and receive support in reflecting, analysing and resolving them. Additionally, the seminar provides participants with the opportunity to prepare and simulate difficult dialogues and negotiations.
