Working with Cross-Cultural Conflict Dynamics


Explore interpersonal and inter-group conflict, in which parties have substantially different cultural perspectives, based on nationality, ethnicity, race, gender, religion or other cultural dimensions. Learn to identify your preferred conflict management style, and to recognize and implement alternative ways to frame and resolve conflict in situations where cultural differences impede understanding. Experiential learning activities and intercultural communication theory serve as the foundations for reflection on your own approach to conflict between individuals, and within organizations and communities. Gain the practical experience to recognize cross-cultural conflict and develop constructive approaches for resolution. The increasing cultural diversity within communities and organizations requires that facilitators, mediators and anyone involved in negotiations have the knowledge and skills to work cross-culturally.
