Workshop Delivery Approach

MRJC will help you to redefine conflict in your life by enhancing your communication with others, by increasing your understanding about how others navigate through situations of conflict and by providing you with the opportunity to practice your new skills in disputes that are based on real-life situations.

Our action-learning approach integrates our workshop content into your daily real-life experiences and situations.  Our trained, experienced facilitators will help you to practice communication skills and strategies while you are involved in real conflict situations.

Our participatory training process has been designed to connect to all adult learning types (audio, visual and tactile – learn by doing).  MRJC will enlighten you about the need to learn new skills, we will incorporate your own personal experiences in the learning and help you to problem-solve through these situations.

We know that you will want to put your training to immediate use, and we will help you and prepare you to do so.  Our workshop series provides time for you to reflect on the new concepts that you will learn, and guide you on how to link these concepts to your own life experiences. The process of sharing ideas and dialogues with other participants will help you to clarify what you think or feel about situations that involve conflict in your own life.  Working in a group will help you to share-in and experience other people’s thought processes.
