Finding Common Ground and Building Bridges

The National Coalition Building Institute has two free workshops offered on REPORTER this fall. One teaches participants skills to handle tough interpersonal and intergroup conflicts, while the other helps participants gain self-awareness, stretch beyond your comfort zone, and gain new understanding regarding the vital role of diversity and inclusion.

Finding Common Ground: From Conflict to Coalition Building

NCBI has developed a model for conflict resolution. This model teaches participants skills to handle tough interpersonal and intergroup conflicts. Workshops examine controversial issues through a positive process. Participants learn to reframe controversial issues into a context where all parties are able to work toward a common solution.
