About the event
What do you do when tensions rise and conflict erupts? Are you interested in learning how to de-escalate conflicts but don't know where to begin?
Whether you are a teacher, community organizer, parent, or local leader, this introductory training will equip you with basic skills and next steps. In this 3-hour training, you will be guided by Founder and Lead Facilitator Nia Eubanks-Dixon, who brings with her 20 years of professional education experience. Using an anti-racist, humanistic framework, participants will work through a variety of culturally-relevant methods for de-escalation.
This is a community training open to ALL, which we only host twice a year.
ABOUT CREATIVE PRAXIS' RESTORATIVE PRAXIS METHODOLOGY
Building community is a central part of restorative practice, as indicated by The International Institute for Restorative Practice. According to their research, 70% of all trainings, educational experiences or gatherings should be spent on building a community; this will ultimately decrease the amount of time organizations spend addressing conflict. Knowing this, Creative Praxis offers a clear pathway for participants to cultivate community and build authentic relationships. This helps to foster vulnerability, connection, compassion, empathy, and self-efficacy in the space and beyond. “I see you, but I am also able to stand in and validate my own power.”
Our trainings teach that conflict is a natural and healthy part of all communities, including learning communities. Through restorative practices, participants learn how to plan for conflict and face it with confidence rather than fear. We share and practice nonviolent de-escalation tactics as well, giving educators tangible skills to take into their classrooms immediately. Some trainings include a nonviolent de-escalation certification for all who finish.
