Conflict, conflict, conflict! From learning how to facilitate when there's conflict, to tending to ongoing conflict, to being prepared for upcoming conflicts - if conflict is on your mind, we've got something for you! Transformative Conflict & Justice - Facilitator Training Programme Navigate is planning to run an in-depth Conflict & Justice Facilitation training programme, starting sometime around Spring 2024. We’re planning for this to be a full training & ongoing mentoring programme in Mediation and Transformative Justice facilitation. The training will be for people who are really committed to learning and practising this kind of work, ongoingly, in communities and movements for social and environmental justice. We’re planning to hold a 2 day intro course, to begin to explore and integrate some of the principles this work is grounded in, and this is likely to then be followed by an application process for places on a week long training that will follow. Participating in ongoing training, practice, peer support, and coaching/mentoring will also be a core part of the commitment. We want to actively welcome and support people of marginalised identities and backgrounds to come on this training and do this work. There are still a lot of details to figure out, we just wanted to put the word out now so that people can start to think about whether they would want to apply. If you know you are interested, please leave us your contact details here . We’ll send out more information closer to the time through our newsletter. Register your interest here Responding to Conflict as Facilitators Starting Wednesday 27th September Roz and Jana are running another round of Responding to Conflict as Facilitators! In this course we explore what conflict is, how it shows up in us and between us, how power&privilege may show up in it, and ultimately, what we in our role as facilitators or space holders can do when it shows itself in a group we're facilitating.

This funding usually doesn't cover the development stage of new projects or external support when we need it, and so individual donations really support our capacity to grow and thrive as an organisation, and offer the best we can to those we work with. If you're in a position where it feels easeful to support us financially, we'd be thrilled to receive your contribution. Another way you can support us is by spreading the word that we're out there, and suggesting us to groups who may be in need of the kind of support we offer. Thank you! Donate now Navigate can help your group We facilitate tailor-made workshops; mediate conflict; and facilitate meetings for groups across the UK, and sometimes beyond.
