Foundations of Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution (ECCR): 3-Course Certificate
The Udall Foundation offers a Foundations of Environmental Collaboration and Conflict Resolution Certificate for professionals in government, nonprofits, or the private
sector who would like to broaden their communication, collaboration, and conflict resolution skills. The 3 course Foundations of ECCR Certificate demonstrates a baseline understanding of:
-
Principles of interest-based negotiation in multiparty settings.
-
Situational assessment and determining "ripeness" for collaboration or conflict resolution.
-
Process design for effective and inclusive collaboration and conflict resolution in environmental and public policy arenas.
-
Skills and concepts related to one of two focus areas:
-
Collaboration with Native Nations and Tribal Consultation
-
Collaboration in the context of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
Our trainers are experienced professional facilitators and mediators with years of applied practice. We present strategies, tools, and techniques honed in the real world,
and our trainings provide significant opportunities for skills practice. To earn the 3 course Foundations of ECCR Certificate, candidates must complete our core Fundamentals
of ECCR Series and 1 of our remaining 2 elective courses within a 5-year period.
I see opportunities to apply skills I learn across all levels of work—modeling collaborative leadership skills for others; interpreting conflicts; creating more effective
collaborations for problem solving.
