Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies Chooses Moncton
The Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island is pleased to announce that it has selected Moncton as the permanent site for its expansion into other provinces. The Centre offers the only Certificate in Conflict Resolution Studies in Atlantic Canada based on an exceptionally comprehensive program of 40 course options. Over the past eight years, the UPEI Centre has provided training to more than 3500 participants with many of them traveling from other provinces. To accommodate the growing demand for our conflict resolution training and services, the Centre recently decided to expand its program through a satellite site and Moncton was selected due to its centrality and wealth of services, facilities and resources.
Beginning in September, a full slate of courses will be offered including interest-based mediation, negotiation, facilitation and a range of other specialized courses related to conflict resolution in the workplace, family and community as well as civil and criminal matters. The Centre expects to draw hundreds of people from across NB and parts of NS. These courses are of particular interest to business and government managers, lawyers, human resource professionals, union and labor representatives, social workers, educators, clergy and others seeking to learn the theories and skills of interest-based conflict resolution.
