The National Coalition Building Institute (NCBI) workshops and principles are being used on hundreds of campuses, K-12 schools, corporations, law enforcement programs, communities, domestic and international political organizations, and peace negotiations. At the University of Iowa, our team offers courses, free of charge, to the campus and community.

The Conflict and Controversial Issues session is a four-hour process gives leaders skills to deal constructively with tough conflicts, enabling them to move disputing parties toward future cooperation. This session is highly interactive, and leaders engage in learning by dialoguing about a real controversy that exists in the room.
