05 May 2018 | Day Workshop | Art Therapy & Working with Conflict

Conflict is an emotive subject. This day course is about finding new ways to look at it. There will be a variety of practical art exercises to gain insights into different aspects of conflict, conflict resolution and mediation, including first reactions to conflict, handling conflict non-verbally and conflict arising in sharing space.

Participants will use drawing/painting as a step towards resolving conflicts, working with others on the course.

The aim is for participants to acquire a greater awareness of different aspects of conflict, and how to work with conflict constructively. A set of handouts will accompany this course.
