Mediation Class and Team Profile

A visiting group from Southern Methodist University came to Kamulu for four days. During their visit, the group taught all students and staff about different conflict resolution strategies and how best to work together as a team during the calm and the storm. The group went into detail on five different types of conflict resolution styles: The Director, The Avoider, The Compromiser, The Cooperator and The Harmonizer. While having a seminar-style class with both the Kamulu and Eastleigh team, the entire staff got to see how each other operates in a time of conflict. Through a simple survey of questions, we found out our type of resolution style and got to share strengths and weaknesses of it to the rest of the staff. This really opened the eyes of the staff to see how we could better work as a cohesive group, utilizing others' strengths and weaknesses in time of calm and in times of storm. We are so thankful to the group from SMU for teaching us these valuable lessons in managing conflict!
