Transforming Conflict: Sharing Tools for Dialogue and Engagement

20 June 2012, Jordan

an outstanding, international pool of over 30 expert presenters and facilitators representing leading training institutes around the world for a unique, historical opportunity to be part of an ongoing series of capacity building conferences making a difference in the Middle East - today.


4 days of engaged dialogue and applied training in proven, effective models and methods that are innovative, inclusive, collaborative, practical, and culturally adaptive, intended to equip the next generation of leaders with concrete, positive, and highly effective, skills to step forward and create new, inclusive, and democratic social structures and relations that work for all, and in doing so promote a culture of peace.

We utilize the conference for this purpose by creating a common ground that honors diverse perspectives, authentic dialogue, and earnest deliberation where not only the general public can directly engage and learn, but where key stakeholders themselves can personally connect and explore ways to cooperate in sharing and supporting each others efforts for a larger, common good.

By design, in cooperation with the National Reform Agenda of Jordan, and with the encouragment of King Abdullah II, the Annual International Conference on Transforming Conflict (TC) is a practical conference intended to empower the individual in society with necessary skills to take on increased civic participation and collaborative, proactive leadeship roles in advancing beneficial social reform and transition.

Among planned outcomes are individual proficiency for constructively addressing crucial challenges facing developing societies today, promoting on-going community based training groups to an expanding number of individuals to continue practice and application between annual conferences, and creating a growing resource of educational and training materials and network support to provide to academic institutions for access by students and faculty and to encourage inclusion in the formal curriculums of these systems
