Join the Association for C onflict Resolution (ACR) for their 19th Annual Conference, where they will expl ore our shared theme — Heal the Divide: A Focus on the Role of ADR Practiti oners in a Divided Society.
The official theme for the 2019 Annual C onference is, "Heal the Divide: A Focus on the Role of ADR Practiti oners in a Divided Society".
Everywhere you look, th e deep divide that has taken hold of our country is evident. Story after st ory point to news of a deeply divided nation. Politics have pitted family m embers against each other. Children are being taken from their families. Bo dy cameras and mobile devices position to capture tense police-community in teractions. And, the phrase "active shooter" is part of our normal vocabula ry. Hate has become acceptable, some say even fashionable. What is our resp onsibility as conflict resolution practitioners to help Heal The Di vide?
At ACR's 2019 Annual Conference, we want to explore th is question from every angle and from every conflict resolution process:
