Professional Practice Development
Do you have the skills, tools and experience to prevent or deal constructively with conflict when it arises?
Leap offers a range of courses for adults working with young people to learn new tools and techniques, enhancing your skills to support young people in dealing with conflict.
Engaging Methods
Our courses are participatory and dynamic in style, offering new ways of engaging and challenging young people. Our techniques will help you and the young people you work with to explore their attitudes, develop awareness, learn skills and change behaviour. The materials we offer are applicable for working with individuals and groups.
Unique Materials
Leap Confronting Conflict has over 22 years experience of designing and delivering transformational programmes for young people, and training youth professionals. Our training materials and resources are developed through rigorous trialing and testing in the field before they are disseminated through our adult training courses.
