Course Description

Collaboration is one of the best ways to address coastal resource management issues, but the collaborative process is complicated, requiring a systematic approach. This course provides tools and processes to design and implement collaborative approaches. Class time is provided to practice the use of these tools and enhance facilitation and collaboration skills. Participants will learn to plan and facilitate a meeting (or a series of meetings) that enhance problem-solving and minimize conflict.
