SUMMARY:[P]Reflections: Invaluable Benefits of Preparation - First Spring Course (First Session)
DESCRIPTION:Wherever you are in the world\, global experience demonstrates that at least 80% of the work in successful mediations and dialogue happens before participants even walk into their first meeting together. This practical and functionally-oriented course focuses on the benefits of preparation to both parties and mediator… and\, it takes you step-by-step through how to do this skillfully. Helping the parties to clarify their purpose\, to reflect on what is most important to them and how they can bring themselves constructively into the room are some of the topics class participants will explore through interactive exercises in this global classroom. \nClick here and scroll down to register

SUMMARY:Intercultural Communications - First Spring Course (Second Session)

The course also will touch upon the variables of communications expressed because of cultural differences in ideas\, attitudes and behaviors. The overall goal of this introductory course is to assist in communicating optimally with each other and to establish general processes to facilitate optimal communications through active\, experiential learning. \nClick here and scroll down to register
