POC Conflict Transformation Learning Lab

A learning lab for centering equity in our work

This learning lab connects conflict transformation practitioners of color to share

experiences, de-center White normative conflict transformation processes,

and try out new approaches that center equity and social justice. Participants

will develop a shared understanding of White norms within the field as a form

of structural racism, co-create and develop new practices and strategies,

test them in their work, and then return to the lab to share insights and learnings.

The learning lab is an opportunity to try out new ideas, approaches, and

receive input from peers in a supportive space.
