Enquiry techniques and collective intelligence (Art of Hosting)
Working on creating a common vision is one of the fundamental processes for a group to mature, as it is one of the best ways to avoid conflicts. Groups should be given the importance and the necessary space so that they can investigate the issues that concern them and on which they work so that, in this way, the creative potential of a group can emerge through its collective wisdom and intelligence.

Environmental conflict transformation
This course aims to address the management and transformation of environmental conflicts from a systemic perspective, recognising their complexity and seeking strategies and tools to manage them. It is common to consider conflicts as a negative phenomenon, but if we broaden our view and observe their dynamics and complex evolution, we realise that conflicts function as an engine of evolution.
When we achieve a satisfactory regulation of conflicts, we strengthen the relationship of trust between the different actors and their responsibility in the search for joint solutions, as well as increasing the quality of the decision-making process.
General objective of this training: to become aware of the current reality of environmental conflicts, the common characteristics that they can present, and to study some concrete cases in order to apply conflict resolution techniques.
General contents:
- Main elements of environmental conflicts.
- Dimensions and interests in environmental conflicts.
- Conflict phases: escalation and de-escalation.
- Diagnosis: analysis of the social polarisation of the conflict.
- Development of participatory strategies for intervention in environmental conflicts.
- Intervention techniques and tools (mediation/facilitation) in environmental conflicts.
- Case studies.
At the end of this training, you will have:
- Analysed and reflected on the relationship between current conflicts and their relation to environmental issues.
- Increased their knowledge of the complexity of environmental conflicts, their effects and consequences.
- Known techniques and tools for dealing with environmental conflicts.
- Increased your motivation to go deeper and work on environmental conflicts or related issues.
Aimed at: people who may be related to environmental issues, where conflicts may possibly arise in the management, use or disposal of natural elements, either people working in the third sector in environmental matters, technical staff of public administrations (local development agents, protected areas), professionals in the field or citizens who are interested in addressing these challenges in a comprehensive manner.

Emotional management: how to include it in group life
Emotional management is one of the four areas that we understand as fundamental for the satisfactory functioning of groups, together with decision-making, enquiry and cohesion. All the work related to relationships, conflict prevention and transformation, communication and the incorporation of emotions and their management in the work framework is framed in this space. In collective spaces, the influence of personal emotions is constant.
Many of the difficult situations we experience in groups have their origin in the resistance we feel to contact from a deeper level, to talk about and manage our emotions. Having spaces for emotional management in groups will help us to improve group health since, in addition to taking care of people, we will be accessing very useful information to apply improvements in group functioning.
General objective of this training: to get to know the space of emotional management and to learn techniques to include it in the daily dynamics of groups.
General contents:

Cohesion and celebration in groups: why is it so important to include them?
The relational climate is fundamental for the satisfactory functioning of groups. To this end, it is essential to take care of the space for cohesion and celebration, a space that is usually relegated to the informal structure in groups.

In addition, we will be able to acquire tools to take care of it in our groups.
General objective of this training: to learn to value, generate and incorporate the space for cohesion and celebration in groups.
