During the seminar, we reflect on conflict management, both the personal and organizational level. During the seminar our goal is to find new methods regarding group dynamics and conflict situations between the volunteers and working community, conflict situations between the volunteer, as well as sexual emergent conflict situations.As working methods we will use expert lectures, group work- and discussions. The conflict situation may appear in a very different way for the sending and the receiving organisations. Our responses for conflicts is affected both by personal as well as cultural features. During the seminar, we will have new perceptions and understanding of the various ways to react to conflicts and this will help us to gain more understanding towards each others. Participating organizations receive new know-how, more knowledge and skills to deal with conflict situations. As a network, we can strengthen our cooperation by agreeing on common practices to create the conditions for a good and functioning cooperation.
