The 1st Annual Conference on Shared Flourishing
Our Theme
How can we advance conflict resolution & peaceful communication
as the primary way we address social conflict?
We already know a lot about how to manage, resolve and transform interpersonal, organizational, social and even international conflict.
Unfortunately, this knowledge is held behind closed doors. It is the province of specialists, mediators, therapists, diplomats and other practitioners. How can we bring peaceful forms of conflict transformation to the public at large? That is the theme of this conference.
This isn’t your everyday conference. Our goal is to answer the questions posed above by having conference participants create a practical Action Plan.
Conference Agenda
Plenary Talk
Speaker to be announced
Morning Session
Participants will present 30-minute presentations that:
- describe successful attempts to bring conflict resolution practices into diverse communities; and
- make recommendations for how their programs can be extended more broadly into everyday social life
Lunch Break:
During the hour lunch break, conference organizers will identify the themes and strategies discussed in the plenary and morning sessions and organize them into a series of themes.
Afternoon Session:
Participants will be organized into breakout groups according to theme interest. Each group will develop proposals for promoting the values of conflict resolution among the public. Participants will have the opportunity to:
- engage in active dialogue with other participants
