These include ways to manage conflict; differences and equality; inter-cultural communication; overcoming prejudices and stereotypes; leadership; and time management. The third part will help you think about preventive diplomacy through concepts such as design thinking, message development and storytelling. Finally, the fourth section presents basic information about UNRCCA and the Preventive Diplomacy Academy.
