Trailer for Conflict diagnosis. Recognising, interpreting and following up on conflicts!
General Course Information
Conflicts are omnipresent and we encounter them in a wide variety of situations and areas of life. Often, even small things can be enough to trigger conflicts. However, conflicts do not only have negative sides, but can also have positive sides. They can be used as an opportunity and at the same time as a starting point for further development.

Course Instructor
Center for Social Competence
The Center for Social Competence is an overarching institution of the University of Graz, which offers all students of the University and the Graz University of Technology a comprehensive range of courses on social competences.
Through cooperative, interactive and interdisciplinary forms of learning, we strengthen students' competencies in the areas of "communication and self-awareness", "self-direction", "cooperation" as well as "social responsibility" and enable them to develop answers to personal, professional and social challenges.
There are approximately 50 different courses on the program each academic year. The courses can be credited as electives for specialized studies; in addition, students who complete at least 12 ECTS can earn their own certificate.
Special emphasis is placed on mediation training, group dynamics, and the master's module "Communicating - Interacting - Cooperating" (KIK), which is open to students of all master's programs. In addition to teaching, we also participate in research on social skills issues.
We also organize public events such as lectures, conferences and exhibitions, which are aimed at a broad audience and serve to transfer scientific findings into social discourse.
