Training Courses

We offer various specialised training courses designed to build the knowledge, skills, and confidence required to address complex conservation conflicts. Our programmes combine theory and practice in negotiation, facilitation, mediation and conflict transformation, tailored for professionals working at the interface of conservation, policy, and communities. Participants engage with real-world case studies and facilitated exercises that reflect the challenges of working across social, political, and ecological divides. Whether you are a conservation practitioner, policymaker, or researcher, our courses provide practical tools to navigate tensions and divisions, repair relations, create cooperation, and lead effective strategies for coexistence.
