ISCT and the Nansen Center for Peace and Dialogue are offering Transformative Dialogue:  Principles and Practice from January 28 through February 1, 2013 in Lillehammer, Norway.

The training will introduce the process of Transformative Dialogue and the skills needed to successfully apply relational principles to community interventions.  It is designed for people who deal with group conflict, particularly ethno-political conflict, where identity issues are important factors and political forces must be taken into account. 

The trainers, Erik Cleven, Vesna Matovic and Judy Saul, are firmly grounded in transformative theory and have extensive experience in intervening in group conflict in the US, Africa, the Balkans, and the former Soviet Union.

The workshop will be limited to 25 people.

To learn more about Transformative Dialogue, read the white paper:  “Who Needs to Talk to Whom About What and How? Transformative Dialogue in Settings of Ethnopolitical Conflict” and the blog post:  “Beyond Mediation:  Transformative Dialogue Reaches Africa” both available at www.transformativemediation.org
