International Conflict Analysis and Conflct Management workshops for NGOs

I work as Web-journalist and trainer for international NGOs. My trainings brought me to the Balkan, Caucasus, Africa and Columbia. 


Here is a presentation of my work:
 
My Training Approach:

Violence might be attractive at 1st glance, but it is a blind road in the long run. This is my experience at many hot spots where I do my trainings: In Bosnia, the Caucasus, Africa, Kosovo and South America.


My training workshops address political conflict analysis and conflict resolution and they focus on better reality awareness, communication and interaction for individuals and groups for more peaceful interaction.

My aim is to make participants in the workshops more sensitive, how to understand the main aspects of political conflicts and also to enlarge their individual and group potential to address “inner conflicts” like stress, work overload and wrong perceptions of reality.

My academic background is peace research; I took my Ph.D. in conflict management. Later I have worked in the peace education area and now my commitment is consulting and training for international NGOs.



The pattern of my Training Courses for NGOs:

My training focus are Conflict Resolution and Relaxation Exercises against work stress and burnout-syndroms.

The concrete program of each training is finalized in communication between me and the corresponding NGO prior to the training date. Thus NGOs can submit their wishes to which points should be given special emphasis in the training.

Time: Weekend

Place: On the Location of the NGO

Language: English.

Handouts: After the training the NGO will get a CD with web links and files covering the topics of the training

Certificate: Drafted according to the wishes of the NGO

Costs: $500 plus refund of travel and accommodation costs

NGOs interested in arranging a training seminar for their members can contact me via email to hubluber@web.de

Training Workshop for Conflict Resolution:

This workshop identifies main types of political conflicts, presents examples of successful conflict management and addresses basic skills for individual and group conflict resolution.

Beside short topic inputs, the workshop includes practical group exercises for expanding the individual basis for successful conflict resolution and substantial Questions and Answers units.

Workshop Topics:
- Conflict Typology
- Main Approaches of Conflict Resolution:
- Presenting international conflict case studies and what we can learn from them.

Beside these topic inputs there will be periodical Question and Answer periods and a number of short practical exercises for group confidence building, rising of personal awareness, improving of positive listening under stress etc.

Participation:
No special pre-requirements or knowledge necessary but willingness for a constructive attitude towards the workshop. Satisfactory English language capacity.

Training "Steps For Inner Peace":

Stress, Burn-out syndroms and workaholism are unfortunately a growing symptom in NGOs. Often the time of recreation and reflection is much shorter than the many hours spent with exhaustive activities in the field or office.

This weekend course is a new approach to help NGO workers to find possibilities for making a constructive break within their hard routine work. During such a course participants will explore the potential of reflection and dealing more friendly with their soul and body, so that new energy can flow into their commitments afterwards.

The course includes elements of:

- Meditation in silence
- Body exercises for relaxation
- Contemplative music and text listening
- Confidence Training in the group
- Counselling periods for back-home problems
