“How might our world change if we could lean into conflict more boldly and see conflict as an opportunity for self-discovery and community-building?” asks Lolo, counselor, equity consultant, conflict mediator, and social justice theatre director based in Oregon. “Let’s be honest: few of us actually like conflict. Most of us avoid it, instead opting for private frustration or complaints to a friend.”
Join us for this interactive 2-hour workshop and learn to view conflict as an opportunity, identify tools to approach conflict from this new perspective, and process your personal barriers to approaching conflict.
“This is not a ‘sit-back-and-listen’ webinar,” says Lolo. “Come curious and ready to expand your perspectives toward interpersonal conflict and what it can offer us and our world!”
In honor of a belated International Conflict Resolution Day, the event begins with an “Overview of Rotary’s Peace Initiatives” introduction by Rotarian Tim Hansen.
This free event is the sixth in the “Kakou: Let’s Work It Out!” workshop series, co-hosted by the County of Hawai’i Office of the Prosecuting Attorney, Ku’ikahi Mediation Center, Rotary Club of Hilo, Rotary Club of Hilo Bay, Rotary Club of South Hilo, Rotary Club of Volcano, UH-Hilo Political Science & Administration of Justice Department, and UH-Hilo International Student Services & Intercultural Education Office.
