When Differences Clash: Essentials of Conflict Management in Interdisciplinary Groups

  • 4TU.Federation - Wageningen University 4 Droevendaalsesteeg Wageningen, GE, 6708 PB Netherlands (map)

Utilising conflict situations to improve collaboration.

 4TU.CEE organizes this 1-day interactive workshop that offers the space to explore the nature of conflict in interdisciplinary settings and provides tools to effectively resolve or manage the ensuing tensions with the end result of more harmonious working relations and better communication.

About the workshop

Working in interdisciplinary groups entails working with difference. Working with difference brings us to the intercultural communication approach with its emphasis on learning about the Self, so that we can successfully learn about the Other.

Using elements of Emotional Intelligence, Intercultural Conflict Styles and Negotiation across Cultures will help you to experience conflicts as an enriching opportunity for learning and collaboration.

You  will thus employ  theory on intercultural conflict management together with experiential exercises you can use in your own practice, self-reflection and experience sharing, as you co-author potential solution strategies for the concrete  critical incidents  you bring into the workshop and share with others.
