Conflict Resolution Day Activity Ideas

Join your colleagues from across Alberta and celebrate Conflict Resolution Day.

Add your event to our Events page (even if its a closed event we want to know it's happening)!
​
Here's a few other things you can do:
  • NEW: Host a "Tea with Ted"! Have a small virtual gathering with colleagues, view one of our Ted Talks and facilitate a discussion afterwards. More info here. 
  • Deliver a workshop on conflict resolution. Alberta Conflict Resolution Day's committee has a 1.5 hour training presentation package you can use. 
  • Host an information booth at a mall, farmer's market, festival, workplace, school, or wherever you can reach a crowd.
  • Celebrate your clients, members, or volunteers with an appreciation event.
  • Partner with other practitioners or organizations in your community to host an event.
  • Hold an Open House to feature your programs, offer testimonials from clients, have a brown bag lunch speaker, and/or demonstrate a mock mediation.
  • Organize a flash mob like this group did.
  • Host a movie or book club night. Pick a movie or book with a conflict theme and prepare a few questions for discussion afterward. For inspiration, check out the movie Bully.
  • Spread the word on social media: start a conversation, share resources and events. 
  • Write an article for your local paper.
  • Play a Conflict Resolution Game like the Empathy Toy
  • Hold a contest: Art, poetry, t-shirt, video, poster? Choose a medium to engage your audience.
  • Host a Twitter Chat. Find out how.
  • Publish information about Conflict Resolution Day in your blog, website, newsletter, or magazine
  • Add to your email signature. Add Conflict Resolution Day, the date, and a link to this website to your email signature
  • Create promotional items such as t-shirts, mugs, or book marks to promote conflict resolution
  • Posters! Post these up wherever they're allowed and encourage others to participate in events.
  • Coordinate with your local library, art gallery, or museum to hold conflict resolution themed displays or events.
  • Invite a speaker to address a topic in ADR, conflict resolution, or peace.
  • Share a reading list or create a book display. Check out our reading list for some ideas.

Wednesday, October 16, 2019 : Neighbourhood Conflict 

Mediation and Restorative Justice Center
​
Do you have a disagreement with your neighbours or family and don’t know what to do?  The Mediation and Restorative Justice Center can help you to resolve difficult conflicts or disputes that may arise between you and your family members, neighbours, members of your community, people at work, or fellow participants in groups or activities by facilitating a meeting with the person or people you are having a dispute with.

Most individual/community-based Resolution Meeting Services provided in the Greater Edmonton Area, facilitated by two members of their Conflict Resolution Team in a safe, public location, are of no-cost to any participant.  Call them on their Conflict Management & Support Hotline at 780-423-0896 to see if you qualify for free Resolution Meeting Services.

Strathcona County Mediation Services
Living together in a community can be challenging.  Not all people experience events in the same way and when you find you are in conflict – there is help.  Mediation provides the time, space, process, and facilitators to have an open and honest and respectful conversation to gain understanding of one another’s concerns and together, to explore options for resolving it.
