Agenda
Speakers
The event was directed toward youth and young adults who tend to suffer through relationship conflict. Attendees were able to learn to maintain their relationships with not only their significant others but also those of parents and friends or even a co-worker. Guest speakers discussed their own experiences and struggles while giving examples of how they were able to move past conflict or maintain healthy relationships. Participants were able to ask questions and interact with the speakers through the use of Kahoot.
Laurel Boytim (Executive Director of the Ripple Effect Education & Professor at the University of Guelph-Humber) spoke about Transforming Relationships Through Conflict
– Pointed out that when it comes to conflict with others, there is much more to it than can be seen (like an iceberg).
– To truly understand conflict with another, the needs, feelings, wants and other hidden reactions must be considered.
– Then even below that, there are things such as class, life experiences or even trauma that can shape how a person acts and reacts which is why it can be so difficult to understand others when in conflict.
