Conflict Resolution Day 2009
Conflict Resolution Day 2009 will be celebrated around the world on October 15. Inspired by ACR’s Board Resolution proclaiming every third Thursday in October for an annual celebration of Conflict Resolution Day, various national and international organizations will hold events on or around October 15.
Conflict Resolution Day was conceived in 2005 by ACR to:
- Promote awareness of mediation, arbitration, conciliation and other creative, peaceful means of resolving conflict;
- Promote the use of conflict resolution in schools, families, businesses, communities, governments and the legal system;
- Recognize the significant contributions of (peaceful) conflict resolvers; and
- Obtain national synergy by having celebrations happen across the country and around the world on the same day.
Municipalities across Alberta will be providing an educational lunch time workshop designed to inform attendees on the wide variety of conflict management process that can be used. Look back here closer to the date for information on locations of the workshops to be held in Edmonton.
