ARTFUL APPROACHES TO MANAGING CONFLICT (BRISBANE)

On Saturday 28 March Dr Sam Hardy and Cathryn Lloyd ran a one-day workshop on Professional Artistry for mediators and other people who work with conflict.  The workshop explored the concept of mediation and conflict management as a form of artistry:  when done well it involves more than just application of technical skills and processes.  The workshop also provided an opportunity for people to reflect on their practice and to engage in creative processes (improvisation, storytelling, imagery and art) and conversations.  By the end of the day a group of tired but happy participants left the workshop with a canvas that they had created using a range of materials, some new friends, and some new perspectives about their practice.
