Ø Understand the dynamics of conflict and the myriad possible responses to it.

Ø Learn effective communication and listening skills that break down barriers and build bridges.

Ø Understand the indigenous roots, principles & values of *restorative justice.

Ø Practice restorative dialogue techniques that help others hear each other.
