Session Description: A successful program for Tribal youth must consider that conflicts will be a part of any effort to initiate and agree on project priorities, goals, strategies, resource allocation, roles and responsibilities. Thus, conflict resolution skills are essential for creating and sustaining successful relationships between people, community stakeholders, and other invested organizations. This session helps prepare participants to better understand and identify the root causes and dynamics of conflict and to transform disputes through reasoned and compassionate interventions. Led by a master trainer and practitioner in mediation, negotiation, and conflict resolution, this presentation will include ways we develop self-awareness, learn the difference between interests and positions, as well as the role of interpersonal competency, how we build common ground, and how we open lines of communication with compassion. Participants will enhance their capacity to develop sustainable possibilities for resolution through a culturally informed and Indigenous lens.
