John S. McCain III National Center for Environmental Conflict Resolution
Open Training
Participants experience training that is dynamic, problem-based, and highly interactive. Each course provides opportunities
to practice new ECCR skills through exercises that simulate real-life situations, peer-to-peer sharing, and lively discussions
on immediate challenges in ECCR. These courses are open to the public.
Both trainers were very knowledgeable and friendly—asking questions and voicing opinions were encouraged, which contributed
to a positive learning environment—participants were encouraged to learn from each other and from the trainers.
