Navigating Conflict: Restorative Practices in the Workplace - Bethlehem, PA

Presented by International Institute for Restorative Practices

Monday, May 18, 2026·9:00 AMPast Event

The International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP), the world's first accredited graduate school specialising in restorative practices, offers this professional development event at its Bethlehem, Pennsylvania campus focused on navigating conflict in workplace settings. 'Navigating Conflict: Restorative Practices in the Workplace' equips participants with skills to welcome and address conflict intra-personally, interpersonally, and within their organisational environment. Guided by restorative principles, participants gain actionable strategies for resolving conflict by strengthening relational dynamics, promoting shared accountability, collaborative problem-solving, and enhanced communication. While the IIRP is perhaps best known for its work in schools and juvenile justice, this program extends restorative principles to any workplace context—making it valuable for school administrators, district leaders, and educators who want to apply the same relational approaches that work with students to their professional teams and organisational culture.

Key Takeaways

Actionable strategies for navigating conflict using restorative principles; skills for addressing conflict at intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organisational levels; techniques for building shared accountability and collaborative problem-solving; approaches to strengthening relational dynamics and communication in workplace settings

Evidence base: Grounded in the IIRP's decades of research on restorative practices, which have demonstrated effectiveness in building trust, reducing conflict, and strengthening relationships across educational, justice, and workplace settings.
