During this master class, participants get acquainted with the underlying philosophical approaches, theoretical concepts and practical tools for facilitating conflict transformation in complex constellations. Participants will develop skills, and practice a facilitator’s attitude to apply their knowledge in different settings (eg. as inside mediators, as third party, or when working with potential veto groups) and at different societal levels.

Participants will:

• learn the dfiference between concepts, such as conflict management, conflict resolution, conflict transformation, dialogue, mediation, negotiation, facilitation;
• apply tools for complex conflict analysis (actors mapping, structural power analysis, analysis of cultural meanings, needs analysis);
• develop key competencies on how to promote, support and guide reflective 'deep dialogue' processes;
• develop strategies on how to deal with dynamics of exclusion and stigmatisation, as well as power asymmetries in conflict constellations.
