We're running a weekend workshop exploring Transformative Approaches to Conflict on the weekend of the 7th and 8th of October in London.

Come along if you want to:

✨Explore why we want to address conflict in our groups and interpersonally

✨Develop your understanding of the different reactions people can have to conflict (e.g. stress responses)

✨Learn some tools and frames to understand conflict when it happens

✨Build your confidence to engage with conflict through experiential practice

Tickets are by donation and available via eventbrite.

Please share with your friends, comrades and maybe even your frenemies! 😲

Transformative Approaches to Conflict A weekend facilitated by Resist + Renew on engaging in conflict in alignment with transformative justice and anti-oppression values

Comrades! Never again must we be *That* Guy! The RadHR Community is officially live! Sign up now to join a bunch of other wierdos who may or may not have been quite isolated in the work of imagining new ways of organising ourselves, beyond the hierarchies and power imbalances embedded in most standard organisational policies and processes! Spread the word: We are not alone! https://community.radhr.org/signup

Toolbox roundup!

Seasons two of our podcast may have finished a few weeks ago, but all the episodes and resources are freely available on our website!

Check out this selection of tools from our conflict specific toolbox. This includes:
- different frames for understanding conflict
- using the lenses of punitive, restorative and transformative justice to look at conflict
- maintenance meetings for 'clearing the air'
- different roles we can all play in conflict of 'person who caused harm', 'person who's been harmed' and 'witness'
- OODA loops to help decide what to do about conflict
- VERA to engage conflict in the moment

So many tools - a big thanks to Sami for making these nice graphics!

And as well as all the tools - all the interviews are still available to listen back to as well!
