Playing With Fire

This comprehensive 10-day course runs over three weekends scheduled across two months.

This intensive, experiential and highly participatory course is for practitioners who work directly with young people and wish to develop their professional and personal skills and resource to deal with conflict situations.

Playing With Fire is a deeply experiential training programme for adults working with young people to explore their relationship to conflict. It is strongly based on the Freirean tradition of critical pedagogy and 'praxis' and is highly experiential, supporting participants to critically reflect on how conflict operates in their own lives. The course particularly focuses on intra- and inter-personal conflict and provides an excellent foundation for putting peace into practice on an individual level.
