Event description

This event will focus on Strengthening Communities through Conflict Management, particularly in the context of disaster response and recovery scenarios.

Topics covered :

  • Staying steady, grounded, present + responsive in challenging situations.
  • Gaining fresh perspectives through mapping conflict dynamics.
  • Identifying practical strategies to manage conflicts

    We all understand that conflict can arise when working with people, especially during a crisis or disaster, where emotions and tensions can run high. In such times, it's natural for communities to feel stressed and challenged. 

    Plan C has been working across small communities throughout the Northern Rivers NSW and have heard a clear message: developing skills to manage and resolve conflict is an important priority.

    This introductory workshop is designed to equip you with practical tools and strategies to navigate conflicts effectively, especially under the heightened pressures of disaster situations. This is a vast and complex topic. 

    This 3.5-hour sessions will focus on how you can feel empowered to approach conflict in the community with confidence, turning potential challenges into opportunities for growth and connection. This workshop will be co-facilitated by experienced mediators Julie Walker and Bobbi Allen with support from the Plan C team.

    Whether you’re involved in community leadership, an active volunteer, or simply someone who wants to contribute positively to response and recovery efforts, this event will offer a basic foundation to continue your journey toward becoming a more effective and compassionate community member.
