Author: Ronald Hustedde
Planning Unit: Community & Leadership Development
Major Program: Conflict Resolution
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
Community organizations continue to turn to Extension because of its perceived neutrality and expertise to help them deal with conflict. In a recent case, two community-based food-related organizations were disputing shared resources and overlapping missions A UK Extension professor and a research-teaching professor who are experienced mediators worked with the two groups over a two month period to resolve the conflict. The disputants are interested in receiving conflict resolution training as a result of this intervention. The UK Extension training manual, Public Conflict: Turning Lemons Into Lemonade, is a helpful resource to empower the participants and others with skills in conflict analysis and resolution.
