C/ Miguel Angel 8, Madrid

 

Led by people directly involved in conflict management and resolution, who are Alumni of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP), the VIA Jefferson Circle Association Together with the US Embassy, ​​they invite you to the forum "Addressing conflicts and their resolution". It is the 2nd Forum/Debate organized. The previous one took place in Valencia on “Questioning Entrepreneurship” which was inaugurated by the US Ambassador, in which Alumni from the Fulbright and IVLP programs (International Visitor Leadership Program) participated, among others.

On this occasion, the issue of conflicts and their resolution will be addressed. It is a timely topic because the great consensus that dominated the second half of the XNUMXth century is disappearing, which is why conflicts arise in different manifestations. As it is a very broad topic, we will focus on specific cases, in which the speakers carry out their professional activity and live them day by day, addressing four types of conflicts and their resolutions, with the following program:
