Conflicts arise for various reasons and in different contexts. Equipped with mediation skills help to prepare oneself to deal with conflicts encountered in different situations in our daily lives. This Workshop highlights the different types of conflicts and disputes that an ordinary person may encounter. They include family disputes, friend disputes, neighbour disputes, consumer disputes with commercial outlets, disputes on home renovations, and disputes between colleagues and employers.
