LLHL 180 - Transforming Conflict into a Constructive Process

Conflict is part of any human relationship. Although it is often framed as a negative process, it can be an opportunity to create dialogue and connection with the people in our lives. The goal of this class is to teach skills and knowledge necessary to reframe conflict as an opportunity for growth and connection. This class will use a combination of discussion, role play, activities, and case studies to develop skills and tools to engage in positive productive conflict. At the end of the class you will have become aware of and practiced communication skills such as empathy, reframing, and mindfulness to be able to foster productive conflict instead of destructive conflict.
