From June 15 – 22, 2020, Oregon State University will be offering a week-long workshop on water conflict management and transformation. Facilitated by Aaron Wolf, PhD and Lynette de Silva, MS, this hands-on course offers an opportunity for water resources professionals and graduate students to learn about current and leading-edge ways to work effectively in contentious water situations. It explores conflict tolerance, prevention, management, and transformation through collaborative structures as well as through models of negotiation and dialogue. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this course will be delivered online utilizing:

  • Zoom for live, interactive training and exercises delivered over a 3-4hr timeframe each day (with refreshment breaks)
  • Breakout Zoom forums for group activities
  • An instructional platform for discussion board forums, and as a repository for films, the free electronic textbook, and other resources
  • Zoom for participants to role-play in a fictitious river basin negotiation
