Effective Conflict Management Training (BELFAST)

Arts and Business NI (A&B NI) and Safe to Create are collaborating to further support professional development in the arts, creative and cultural sector with this training. This training equips arts professionals and board members with practical skills to understand their own conflict styles and to manage workplace tensions more confidently and constructively across organisations.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – WORKPLACE SKILLS

NOTE: There will be 2 scheduled short breaks and a one hour lunch break, taken during this workshop.

This Effective Conflict Management training course is designed specifically for people working across the arts and creative sectors at all levels to enhance self-awareness in conflict and to develop greater conflict competence in responding to tensions in the workplace.

Conflict in the workplace is inevitable, but destructive conflict is not.
This course is designed for people across the sector at all levels to enhance self-awareness in conflict and to develop greater conflict competence in responding to tensions in the workplace.

The course consists of three elements. Participants must complete all three elements, as follows:

1. An online Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP) assessment (takes approx. 20 minutes) in advance of the training workshop;
2. A one-day in-person training workshop (NOTE: There will be 2 scheduled short breaks and a 1-hour lunch break).
3. A post-training day one-on-one feedback session (approx. 30 minutes).

This valuable training will empower participants with various developmental, communication and management tools to deal with conflict more effectively and avoid the distressing fallout of poorly managed conflict.

There are limited places available for this course, so do apply quickly if you are interested.

It was wonderful that the course focused on our own values and behaviours. Having the Conflict Dynamics Profile was very insightful and the half hour feedback session post event was very beneficial. I liked that it was in person and we got to meet others from the creative sector and hear their perspectives.

About the organisations

Safe to Create is a cross-sector initiative managed by the Irish Theatre Institute, in partnership with the Arts Council of Ireland, Screen Ireland and Minding Creative Minds, on behalf of the Department of Culture, Communications and Sport.

This collaborative programme of supports aims to transform workplace culture across arts and creative sectors in Ireland - promoting dignity, safety, respect and healthy working environments.

Arts & Business Northern Ireland (ABNI) works to build and support long-term partnerships between arts/cultural organisations and commercial businesses across Northern Ireland; their goals include embedding creativity in business, securing investment for the arts, and strengthening the financial sustainability of cultural organisations.

As part of the workshop booking process, we will ask you 5 questions about your role, your sector and where you are based. This ensures that we are reaching individuals in the arts and creative sectors and helps further tailor our workshops to who’s in the room.

We kindly ask that you take a moment to complete the questions.

We’re proud to offer the Safe to Create suite of training workshops at little or no cost to attendees. However, these sessions do require significant resources to run, so we sincerely appreciate your commitment to attending once a place has been reserved for you. If you are unable to attend a training workshop you have signed up for, please notify us as soon as you can so we can offer the place to the waitlist.
