Join us for a workshop with Dr. Guila Clara Kessous (GRS '08), Peace Ambassador, UNESCO Artist, and founder of the Sarah & Hajar Accords. Explore the art of conflict resolution through role play and learn how to deal better with obstructive behaviors such as passivity, aggressivity, and manipulation.

Dr. Kessous’s work draws on theater, positive psychology, the art of negotiation, and executive communication. Using drama techniques, she guides participants towards an ethical decision making process that is non-exploitative and empowering.
