Why conflict can be good for you!

WHY is conflict good for you, yet perceived negatively?
WHAT makes the peer or comparative learning approach so fast and effective?
HOW has working on conflict changed you, personally and professionally?

Yeshim Harris is a peace building and conflict management specialist negotiating in and transforming conversations for the United Nations, international diplomats and their governments, and NGOs from the Middle East, the Americas, Africa, and Southeast Asia.

Yeshim explores why conflict is good for you. We’ll dive into Yeshim’s stories of conflict on a much larger scale, stories between communities around the world, that are both scary and tenuous, and also hard to hear especially when groups hold polar opposite views. Participants will learn firsthand how to use the Comparative Learning method to leverage conflicts in cross-cultural settings…

Peace is elusive and fragile. When we use intentional approaches that enable us to give up the expectation of a ‘happy ever after’ outcome, conflict can emerge into hope and healing.
