Course Overview
It takes a few minutes to bring down developments that have been made over many years. Conflicts if not addressed well can submit an organization, a community or even a country to become dysfunctional and in some cases to total collapse.
Conflicts have either positive or negative consequences and whatever that determines the outcome is the way a particular situation will settled. Dynamics in human settlement, demographics, disputes emanating from management of land, social policy dynamics, political and economic power wrangles have created vulnerability to natural as well as man-made conflicts.
Diploma in Conflict Management course will benefit learners through changing the common destructive narrative and responses to conflict such as altercation, disagreements, threats, anger and unfair treatment to equipping them with scenarios and explaining how other conflict situations were handled for the learners to relate with the same to develop shorter or long term solutions.
In this course, we would like our learners to see conflict situation as an opportunity for building positive and long-term relationships, creating beneficial coalitions, fostering communication, and an opportunity to enhance new ideas, as well as laws and institutions for the good of the community involved.
The course also aims at equipping participants with knowledge and skills on how to manage conflict while working cooperatively towards a win-win solution for all the conflicting parties.
