For Artists, Leaders and Board Members within the sector

25 March 2026

Arts and Business NI (A&B NI) and Safe to Create are collaborating to further support professional development in the arts, creative and cultural sector with this training. This training equips arts professionals and board members with practical skills to understand their own conflict styles and to manage workplace tensions more confidently and constructively across organisations.

You will be asked to briefly outline your professional industry experience and why you would find this training session beneficial, in order to confirm your suitability for this workshop.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:

This Effective Conflict Management training course is designed specifically for people working across the arts and creative sectors at all levels to enhance self-awareness in conflict and to develop greater conflict competence in responding to tensions in the workplace.

TOPICS WILL INCLUDE:

Conflict in the workplace is inevitable, but destructive conflict is not.
This course is designed for people across the sector at all levels to enhance self-awareness in conflict and to develop greater conflict competence in responding to tensions in the workplace.

The course consists of three elements. Participants must complete all three elements, as follows:

1. An online Conflict Dynamics Profile (CDP) assessment (takes approx. 20 minutes) in advance of the training workshop;
2. A one-day in-person training workshop (NOTE: There will be 2 scheduled short breaks and a 1-hour lunch break).
3. A post-training day one-on-one feedback session (approx. 30 minutes).

This valuable training will empower participants with various developmental, communication and management tools to deal with conflict more effectively and avoid the distressing fallout of poorly managed conflict.

There are limited places available for this course, so do apply quickly if you are interested.
