Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution (CADR)
Uptown Security will start a program of conflict analysis and dispute resolution (CADR). It is to be housed at 2439 Auburn Avenue. We will train over the summer of 2007 300 students age 14 to 21 conflict analysis and dispute resolution (CADR) with support from the community and in partnership with the 100 Male March Uptown starting on 29 April 2007.
The requirements for our CADR program are to be based on the teaching of Martin Luther King. The program will be lead by program director Dr. John Hurdelman with program manager Col. Charles Britton (ONG-Ret.) having over 20 years experience in CADR.
Our major goal is designed to provide a sound pre-professional training ground for students who intend to pursue professional conflict intervention positions. The summer program is designed to provide specialized pre-professional training with emphasis on analytical and practical skills in field situations. Although anchored in a liberal arts tradition and strongly rooted in the social sciences, the program is designed to easily allow students to study in other fields outside CADR including a the business of arts & entertainment track, a science and technology track, a construction and community development track, a sports and athletics track ran with Olympic and Professional Athletes along with a social services track that enriches CADR skills in interpersonal relationship among their peers.
Cincinnati Changes staff will work with students individually to develop strong analytical and practical skills. Students are also guided in the development of a work ethic appropriate to professional conflict resolution practitioners.
Students when taught conflict analysis and dispute resolution will serve in the field working with alliances partners of Cincinnati Change i.e. organizations and institutions that need conflict resolution services.
