Strong Collective - Training on Conflict Transformation for NGOs

Training course

15-22 August 2010 | Ommen, Netherlands

This training is intended for experienced trainers, who would like to refresh their repertoire of working by adding professional alternatives, new approaches and methods to their already existing skills.

The purpose of the Training on Conflict Transformation for NGOs is to offer a completely new way of youth work, using elements of NLP, approaches developed by A. Robbins, P. Grove, S. Covey and others on conflict transformation in NGOs. By conflict transformation in NGOs we mean a change in the working system of an organization (culture and structure), which takes place by passing values, norms, specific behaviours from already existing members to new comers.
In this training, you will learn methods on how to increase the output of your NGO by asking the right questions, making decisions to provide volunteers with a working ground that keeps them functioning and enjoying, making agreements, giving space for correction.
The training is addressed to volunteers and staff members of NGOs aged between 18 – 30 years (some exceptions possible) from European countries. From every country of Europe we will select, according to the project application submitted to European Youth Foundation - Project number 1112.8.A.2009.PC22, 1 or 2 persons to take part in the training.
