Applications for our next training in Dialogue in Conflict is now open. We welcome you to join us for a practical and interactive course on how to build trust between parties in conflict.
Dialogue is a way of communicating which focuses on understanding, rather than convincing «the others». This understanding enables us to build or rebuild relationships. This training is for you who is interested in exploring the potential of dialogue to transform conflicts, and to create coordinated efforts by using a dialogue process.
Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue (NCPD) have more than 25 years of experience with dialogue facilitation and training across the globe, amongst others in Norway, Poland, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chile, the Western Balkans, and Germany.
Learning Outcomes
- Understand the potential of dialogue to transform conflicts
- Learn different tools to analyze conflicts
- Gain awareness on how identity influences our communication
- Improve your ability to listen actively and ask good questions

On completion of this training, you are qualified to attend more advanced training in facilitation.
After completing the training, you will receive a certificate and a copy at our handbook in Dialogue and Conflict transformation.
