Session
Shared Interest (SI)
International educators facilitate wide-ranging programs including study abroad, international service-learning, intercultural trainings, and virtual projects. Managing group dynamics requires the skills of conflict transformation: building trust and relationships, building partnerships, facilitating difficult conversations, identifying and dismantling inequities, deescalating conflict, and mediation. In this interactive session, apply the knowledge and skills of conflict transformation and peacebuilding to international education case studies.
