The ACLC Workshop: The Insight Approach to Communication and Conflict, will take place Friday 1st February from 6-9pm and Saturday 2nd February from 9am - 5pm, in Andrew Hall 142, and will be led by Dr. Cheryl Picard. There is no charge for this workshop and Lunch and refreshments will be provided. Dr. Picard comes to us from Carleton University where she is Professor Emeritus and where she founded the Graduate Diploma in Conflict Resolution, the Centre for Conflict Education and Research, and the Mediation Centre. Dr. Picard is a leading scholar and practitioner in the skills of mediation and conflict resolution, and she is the founder of the insight approach, a learning-centered method of mediation which will be the subject of the workshop.  In this workshop, students will learn: 1) new ways of thinking about difficult and conflictual interpersonal and group relations 2) how to deepen the learning conversation by listening to understand and asking about interpretation, meaning- making, feelings and values, 3) how to link, delink and verify insights, and 4) to advance their existing communication and leadership skills and develop new ones. This is a great opportunity for students to learn from someone with training in criminology and social work, and to get better connected to some of the people in these fields.
