Looking Out, Looking In: Lenses on Conflict Resolution

This hybrid conference will be two days of learning, including the main conference on Friday, May 1 and pre-conference workshops on Thursday, April 30.

The conference will provide an interactive exploration of collaborative conflict resolution and mediation topics in various contexts. It will bring together a diverse range of people working in conflict resolution and management, including mediators, investigators, lawyers, legal and mental health advocates, facilitators, researchers and other members of our communities.
