De-escalation is a complex strategy often used for resolving conflicts and establishing peace.
During civil disobedience and direct actions, attention is understandably focused on the subject, target audience/s, and tactics of disruption. Ensuring the safety of participants and bystanders is a critical part of every action regardless of the level of risk, location, or number of participants.
In addition to a brief overview of intervention strategies for events organized by activists, this advanced de-escalation training features active listening and how this essential skill can resolve potentially harmful situations.
This is an interactive training that includes problem-solving exercises.
Please RSVP so we know how many to expect.
