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.
