This trainer’s guide contains learning activities for training in natural resources conflict management. As the second part of a series of training materials for natural resources conflict management, it complements the contents of the conceptual guide Negotiation and mediation techniques for natural resources conflict management. The guide is designed for junior and senior trainers in negotiation and mediation techniques for natural resources conflict management. Trainers need to be knowledgeable about the subject matter and to have some experience of participatory approaches to training. Although the first section of the guide proposes activities for setting the training scene, this is not a training of trainers guide. Trainers need to have a basic understanding of how to plan, prepare and conduct training The activities presented require that participants have a certain level of awareness and understanding of working in conflict situations, and practical experience of facilitating participatory processes. The guide aims at skill building, which is more effective when it follows a multiple and integrated phased programme that combines classroom training with adequate and appropriate mentor-supported field practice.
