Peace studies - Conflict Resolution

Picture
Image from: all-free-download.com
Immediately below you'll find some MOOCs that offer peace/studies and conflict resolution curriculum. I registered for several. Generally speaking most are free, but if you want a certificate, that'll cost between $35 and $99.
Registering for edX and Coursera only take a couple of minutes - again it's free.
Below that you'll find a .pdf prepared by the U.S. Institute for students and educators with excellent curriculum to teach conflict resolution.

Conflict Resolution Skills (Via Coursera) Created by University of California, Irvine Taught by Najla DeBow  Resolving conflict in a positive manner is a skill than can be developed and practiced. Being heard can be one of the most important goals of someone engaged in conflict. Knowing how to listen and deploy appropriate communication tactics is determinative of whether a conflict will have a positive or negative resolution. Starts May 6, 2019. https://www.mooc-list.com/course/conflict-resolution-skills-coursera  [The course is free (!) but if you want a certificate at the end you need a credit card or PayPal $39]

Types of Conflict (Coursera) Created by University of California, Irvine Taught by Najla DeBow Conflict is everywhere and it is impossible to avoid conflicting viewpoints. However, not all conflict is bad, nor is it inherently negative. How conflict is handled makes all the difference. It is through proper identification and understanding of conflict that allows for effective resolutions, some of which may yield positive outcomes. In this course, we will examine the different types of conflict, how to understand and embrace the positive aspects of conflict, and how to successfully navigate conflict to positive resolution.
