Conflict Management and Negotiation Skills
 
     Conflict is a natural, recurring part of the human experience that is evident in relationships between individuals and groups, as well as among nations in the international system.  Modern world history is filled with the tragic consequences of major, worldwide conflicts, and classrooms frequently mirror the ethnic, racial, religious, and/or socio-economic tensions that exist beyond the school in adult society.  To develop classrooms characterized by trust and mutual respect, the project prepares participants to use a variety of skill- and community-building exercises with their students, as well as to utilize communication and negotiation strategies in conducting an international negotiation simulation, the project's culminating activity for students.
