Restorative Meetings; Facilitating Tricky Conversations (when others are in conflict)
This 5 hr self-paced certified course will serve as great RP Buddy for anyone wishing to develop their restorative facilitation knowledge, practice and skills!
If you find yourself having to facilitate tricky conversations between others in your role, then this course is for you! It is an ideal follow-on to Restorative Me (7 hrs self-paced certified course) which explores how to be a restorative practitioner but here we build upon this in the context of Restorative Meetings – a process to facilitate conversations between others in conflict, in a way that promotes empathy and solutions.
Although these courses are synergistic, they are not dependent on one another and if your role involved trying to support others in conflict…. on the yard, in the staff room, in the classroom, or indeed in the kitchen,….. and this was a skill you wanted to develop, then feel free to join the RP journey here! We hope it serves you well.
