Water Conflict Management and Transformation Course - 2023

About the Course

This Water Conflict Management and Transformation course offers an opportunity for water resources professionals and graduate students to learn about current and leading-edge ways to work effectively in contentious water situations. It explores conflict tolerance, prevention, management, and transformation through collaborative structures as well as through models of negotiation and dialogue.

The week-long course emphasizes experiential learning, including a field trip. The class offers a place to learn and practice new skills that are applicable from the individual level to the societal level and across a range of real-life situations. Additionally, the course helps professionals and students understand just how creative, messy, and inelegant workable solutions are likely to be.
