Learning For Life | Place for Hope

Training

Our training is designed to empower and equip people within faith communities to be peacemakers.

We believe that everyone has within them the gifts to bring a spirit of reconciliation to others. We want our training programmes to support you on this journey.

Training Programmes

Tailored Training

Our programmes focus on understanding and engaging in conflict.

We can tailor our training to suit your faith community or organisation.

We currently offer five training programmes:

Growing through Conflict Foundation Day
Growing through Conflict Further Skills Day
Bullying and Harassment
Scripture, Spirituality and Conflict
Faith in Change and Conflict

Examples of recently designed programmes:

Team building
Understanding how conflict works in the church
Supporting young people in the church
'Dealing with Difference'
'Ripples of Hope' programme for a group of churches

What is the format of a training programme?

We offer a range of courses, seminars and workshops shaped to suit the group with whom we are working. We craft these sessions to enable people to leave with a clearer understanding of conflict, some skills in navigating difference and renewed sense of hope in what is possible. We seek to work in a way that is accessible and encourages transformation in each of us.

Who might use a training programme?

Our training is rooted in a faith context. While open to all, some programmes may be especially relevant for those in leadership roles in churches and other places of worship.

Whatever your level of previous learning or experience, we seek to offer you opportunities for deepening your existing knowledge and developing your skills.

Who delivers the training programmes?

Members of our practitioner team – supported by staff and external contributors – deliver our programmes. Working in pairs or small groups, these individuals are skilled in understanding conflict and providing support to others. We provide supervision for them during and after all work, as well as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and support.
